India Launches Online Module to Help Cyber-Fraud Victims Recover Frozen Funds
The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs has launched the Money Restoration Module (MRM) to assist cyber-fraud victims in recovering money frozen in scam-linked bank accounts. Victims must first report fraud via the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) or the 1930 helpline. If authorities trace and freeze the funds, victims can apply online through the MRM without visiting banks or offices. However, the portal does not guarantee refunds, as recovery depends on successful tracing and freezing of funds.
