🔆e-Zero FIR Initiative ✅The Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) has launched the e-Zero FIR initiative, which automatically converts financial cybercrime complaints over ₹10 lakh into First Information Reports (FIRs). ✅The e-Zero FIR initiative is a new mechanism where financial cybercrime complaints involving fraud above ₹10 lakh are automatically converted into FIRs if reported via the 1930 helpline or the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP). ✅This system has been launched on a pilot basis in Delhi by the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). ✅Objective: The initiative aims to speed up investigations into large-scale cyber frauds and ensure swift action against cybercriminals. ✅Rationale: It addresses the longstanding grievance of victims who face delays in FIR registration and difficulty recovering stolen money. ✅Legal framework: The system is aligned with the provisions of Sections 173(1) and 1(ii) of the newly enacted Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). ✅The e-Crime Police Station of Delhi has been officially notified for e-FIR registration and case transfer under these legal provisions. ✅Integrated Digital Infrastructure The system integrates: 🔰I4C’s NCRP system 🔰Delhi Police’s e-FIR system 🔰NCRB’s Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) ✅These platforms collectively ensure the immediate registration of Zero FIRs at Delhi’s e-Crime Police Station, which are then routed to the concerned jurisdiction. #gs2 #polity_governance
