Recuperação de cripto na Índia:
NCRP, I4C e o aperto do RBI.
As vítimas indianas de fraude com cripto atuam em um ambiente regulatório no qual o RBI trata as criptomoedas com cautela, o Income Tax Department as tributa como ativo digital virtual, a SEBI fica atenta a fraudes de investimento com características de valores mobiliários, e o Ministry of Home Affairs opera o Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) e o National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. A recuperação depende de velocidade: a regra indiana de escalonamento em 24 horas para o NCRP dá às vítimas uma janela real se elas agirem rápido. Registre dentro de 24 horas e a conta bancária receptora muitas vezes pode ser congelada antes do esvaziamento.
The agencies your case touches.
National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal
Run by I4C under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Single national filing channel for cybercrime including crypto fraud. Critical: file at the 1930 helpline within 24 hours — there is a "golden hour" window where receiving bank accounts can still be frozen.
Visit warning list →Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre
Coordinates federal and state cybercrime investigation. I4C handles cases referred from NCRP and operates Joint Cyber Coordination Teams in major fraud-hotspot regions.
Visit warning list →Reserve Bank of India
Banking regulator. Has issued repeated public warnings about unregulated crypto schemes. Banks now report Suspicious Transaction Reports to FIU-IND when accounts show crypto-fraud patterns; this provides leverage in fraud-recovery cases.
Visit warning list →Securities and Exchange Board of India
Securities-market regulator. For schemes presenting crypto as collective investment vehicles (CIS) — which most "guaranteed yield" crypto platforms qualify as — SEBI has enforcement authority and an active warning list.
Visit warning list →Financial Intelligence Unit India
AML supervisor. Receives Suspicious Transaction Reports from banks and reporting entities including registered Virtual Digital Asset operators. A strong on-chain evidence pack often triggers FIU-IND engagement with receiving institutions.

- 01
Call 1930 within the first 24 hours
The cybercrime helpline 1930 is staffed 24/7. Reporting within 24 hours activates the "golden hour" lien process — receiving bank accounts can be frozen before the scammer fully drains them. Do this BEFORE anything else.
- 02
File at cybercrime.gov.in (NCRP)
The full online filing complements the 1930 call. Upload screenshots, transaction screenshots, UPI references, and scam wallet addresses. The NCRP report generates a case number used by all downstream agencies.
- 03
Notify your bank — UPI or net-banking fraud team
If you transferred via UPI, NEFT, RTGS or card, every Indian bank has a fraud reporting channel. HDFC, ICICI, SBI, Axis, Kotak, and Yes Bank all process NCRP-referred cases on a priority track.
- 04
Preserve UPI transaction references and scam wallet addresses
UPI transaction IDs are critical evidence. Scam-wallet addresses must be captured at the time of transfer; some scams swap displayed addresses post-payment. Screenshot before and after each transfer if you can.
What we see most in Índia.
- ● Telegram and WhatsApp "task scam" / pig-butchering pipelines targeting Indian professionals — fake employer offers, then a deposit/withdrawal trap
- ● Fake Indian exchange apps cloning WazirX, CoinDCX, CoinSwitch — distributed via WhatsApp and Telegram, harvest UPI credentials
- ● Loan-app and recovery-room ecosystem run from operator compounds in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos — predominantly target Indian victims
- ● Post-GainBitcoin recovery scams — operators contact the leaked GB victim list claiming to be ED (Enforcement Directorate) recovery agents
- ● WhatsApp groups offering "Indian-licensed" forex trading with fake regulator stamps — typically operated from Dubai and the Gulf
- ● Identity-theft attacks against high-value crypto wallets via SIM-swap exploiting Indian telco port-out windows
Our footprint in the Indiano market.
A CryptoLeek trabalha com vítimas indianas por meio de advogados habilitados na ordem (bar-licensed) para questões em tribunais de crimes cibernéticos e ação por mandado judicial (writ petition) nos termos do Information Technology Act, contatos diretos de compliance nas exchanges com presença na Índia (WazirX, CoinDCX, CoinSwitch, onde permanecem operacionais), e escalonamento coordenado por meio do NCRP, do I4C e das células estaduais de crimes cibernéticos. Não mantemos escritórios na Índia: todo o trabalho é remoto, por escrito, sem honorários adiantados e com um valor fixo de retainer de investigação cotado apenas se aceitarmos o caso.
