Cyber complaints in India
A cyber offence may be reported from any State. The national helpline, the reporting portal, and the local cyber cell each have a role. This note describes the usual path so that a client knows what papers to keep. It is not a substitute for advice on a particular FIR.

National portal
File on cybercrime.gov.in. Save the acknowledgement. Categories exist for financial fraud and for women- and child-related complaints.
3
Cyber police station
The portal complaint may be marked to a cyber cell. An FIR, further documents, or a statement may be required. Counsel can assist with that paperwork.
If you are the complainant
Keep originals of SMS, emails, and chat exports. Do not edit screenshots. If a platform deleted the post, say so in the complaint and attach whatever remains.
If you have received a notice
Read the section cited, keep the device intact, and take advice before attending. Appearance and the contents of a statement are decisions for conference, not for a website.
Jurisdiction in brief
Cyber acts may be investigated where the complainant resides, where the computer resource was used, or where the money landed. Which forum is correct is a question of the statute and the FIR — it is not answered by a slogan.
