Overview
- MeitY has published a Standard Operating Procedure requiring intermediaries to remove or disable access to reported NCII within 24 hours and to acknowledge action to complainants.
- Significant social media platforms must deploy crawlers and generate hashes of reported images or videos, sharing them with I4C via the Sahyog Portal to prevent reuploads.
- I4C will aggregate complaints and maintain a secure hash bank, DoT will coordinate with ISPs to block flagged links, and MeitY will monitor platform compliance.
- Search engines must de‑index NCII from results and CDNs and domain registrars must render flagged URLs inaccessible within 24 hours, including reuploads under new links.
- Victims can report through in‑app tools, grievance officers, One Stop Centres, the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal or police, with appeals available to the Grievance Appellate Committee if responses are inadequate.
