The government portal for cybercrime reporting in India - and a short guide for using it well.

National Cybercrime Reporting Portal

Plain-language path for filing cybercrime complaints. The women-and-child path applies for non-consensual intimate content.

Group 05

Indian organisations working alongside survivors on digital safety and gender-based violence.

Cyber Peace Foundation

Filing guide

How to use the cybercrime portal well.

Four short notes from people who have helped survivors file before.

Note 01

Open the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal and choose the women-and-child path if it applies to your situation.

Note 02

Use your Asmita case reference and FIR package once your case has reached the seven-day mark.

Note 03

Do not upload intimate images to Asmita. Only attach material where the official portal explicitly asks for it.

Note 04

Call 112 first if there is immediate danger, or 1098 for child-safety concerns.

When you are ready, Asmita is here.

You can use any of the resources above without ever creating an Asmita case. None of them require it.
