Overview

  • The Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) has been added under Section 66 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as of April 25, 2025.
  • This designation allows I4C to share and receive financial intelligence with the Enforcement Directorate and other law enforcement agencies.
  • I4C's role under the PMLA is limited to coordination and support, without direct prosecutorial powers.
  • The move aims to strengthen efforts against transnational cyber frauds, including money laundering through dark-web markets, fake websites, and phishing schemes.
  • The public is encouraged to report cyber frauds via the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal or the toll-free helpline 1930.
