Niti Aayog is developing a multi-ministerial action plan to protect India's senior citizens from digital scams, including 'digital arrests.' The proposed policy roadmap aims to enhance digital literacy, strengthen security systems, and improve coordinated support for the elderly.

The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment will oversee implementation, with potential budget allocations in 2026-27.
