Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C)

The Government of India (GoI) has authorised Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) to share and receive information from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under the anti-money laundering law.

• The move is aimed at detecting money trail and combating cyber frauds.

• In a notification dated April 25, the Revenue Department under the Finance Ministry included I4C under Section 66 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This would help I4C to share and receive information from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and other law enforcement agencies.

• Established under the Union Home Ministry, I4C is envisaged to act as the nodal point to curb cybercrime in the country.

• I4C focusses on improving coordination between various law enforcement agencies and the stakeholders, driving change in India’s overall capability to tackle cybercrime.
