How to Report Unauthorized Bank Transactions and When Banks Cover Losses
If you notice unauthorized money transfers from your bank account, report the fraud to your bank immediately, regardless of the time. The Reserve Bank of India mandates banks to provide 24-hour channels for reporting such incidents. Prompt reporting can help block further transactions and may increase chances of recovering lost funds. Depending on the cause and timing of the report, banks may be liable to refund the loss. Additionally, contacting the cybercrime helpline on 1930 is advised.
