New Delhi:  The Home Ministry is planning to set up a dedicated center to deal with the growing threat of cyber fraud in real-time.  This new wing called the Cyber Fraud Mitigation Center (CFMC) will be set up under the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) after the Lok Sabha elections.  Currently, various stakeholders involved in combating online fraud, including banks, telecom service providers, IT companies, social media platforms, and law enforcement agencies, work from different offices.

“About two dozen representatives of major banks, five telecom service providers, law enforcement officials, and representatives of IT and social media companies will be deployed at the CFMC.”  This will help in real-time coordination.  Immediate steps will be taken against cyber financial crimes.

The CFMC is an extension of the government’s ongoing efforts to combat cybercrime.  I4C is already developing the Citizen Financial Cyberfraud Reporting and Management System (CFCFRMS) as part of the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP).  This system allows citizens to report financial fraud directly online.
