Relief for Cyber Fraud Victims in Recovering Frozen Money

UdaipurTimes, Oct 17, 2026 - Rajasthan Police’s cybercrime wing, R4C, has launched Money Restoration Module (MRM) which aims to simplify the recovery of frozen funds and reduce procedural hurdles for victims of cyber fraud. Under MRM, cyber fraud victims may be able to recover money deposited in frozen bank accounts without having to undergo lengthy procedures.

Under this module, the recovery process has been determined based on the amount of money frozen in an account.

• For amounts up to Rs 50,000: An FIR or Court order will not be required to initiate the recovery process.
• When the total frozen amount exceeds Rs 50,000, but no individual account has more than Rs 50,000: The process can still move forward without an FIR or Court order.
• For amounts exceeding Rs 50,000 in an individual account: FIR will be mandatory.

So far, action has been taken on 8,016 applications and banks have been directed to return Rs 5.67 crore.
