What 1930 handles
- Financial fraud
- Women and children related cyber crime
- Other cyber crime
One number across India; complaints route to your state police.
What to have ready when you call
- Report it fast — the number itself exists to catch money in transit. I4C's own helpline notice reads: "If you are a victim of Cyber Crime, Dial 1930 (earlier 155260) & register your complaint at cybercrime.gov.in".
- Keep your acknowledgement number. The portal states the complainant receives an acknowledgement number which can be used to track the progress of the complaint by logging on the portal and clicking "check status".
- Have your evidence files ready to upload. The portal issues a hash value for each uploaded file — "a unique fingerprint/number to a digital file you upload as evidence" — to ensure the integrity of the digital evidence.
If the call does not resolve it
Register a complaint under Financial Fraud, Women/Children Related Crime or Other Cyber Crime, and track it with your acknowledgement number.

How AI voice agents help 1930
1930 is the rare helpline where latency is the whole product: the money moves in minutes, so a queue is a loss. The reporting flow is highly structured — the category, the transaction details, the acknowledgement number — which is precisely the shape voice automation handles well, and it runs 24 hours against fraud that peaks at night. The constraint is that a victim mid-panic needs a human tone and an immediate, correct next instruction, not a menu.
