Overview

• The e-Zero FIR system, launched by the Ministry of Home Affairs, automatically converts cybercrime complaints above ₹10 lakh into FIRs.
• The system integrates the NCRP, Delhi Police's e-FIR platform, and NCRB's CCTNS to streamline jurisdiction-free electronic FIR issuance.
• Victims can visit cybercrime police stations within three days to convert Zero FIRs into regular FIRs for further investigation.
• This initiative aims to expedite victim restitution, enhance punitive measures against cybercriminals, and strengthen India's cybersecurity framework.
• Currently operational as a pilot in Delhi, the system is set to be expanded across India, aligning with the Modi government's vision of a 'Cyber Secure Bharat.'
