What happened
The Ministry of Home Affairs has launched a National Cybercrime Reporting Portal and the National Cybercrime Helpline number 1930 to help citizens report cyber incidents, including fake and illegal loan apps. The initiative is relevant for UPSC because cyber fraud has become a recurring public-order, financial-security, and digital-governance issue.

UPSC can frame this topic around the institutional response to cyber fraud, the role of citizen reporting in cybercrime control, and the challenges of real-time complaint redress in a digital economy. The topic also connects internal security with digital governance and financial awareness.
