The Online Money Restoration Module is a Ministry of Home Affairs portal that lets cyber fraud victims request the return of money traced and frozen in a scammer’s bank account. You need your 14-digit NCRP complaint number, a PAN card and bank details. Whether you also need an FIR depends on how much money is frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cyber fraud has become one of India’s fastest-growing crime categories. The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre reports that Indians have lost close to \u20b953,000 crore to online fraud and cheating cases over the past six years, with 2025 alone accounting for nearly \u20b919,800 crore across roughly 21.8 lakh complaints. A good share of that money does get traced and frozen inside the banking system before scammers can move it further. Until mid-2026, getting that frozen money back to its rightful owner still meant visiting police stations and bank branches, sometimes more than once. The Online Money Restoration<\/a> Module changes that by putting the entire refund request online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This guide covers who qualifies, what documents you’ll need, how the application actually works, and what your options look like if things get stuck along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
