How to Check Cyber Crime Refund Status?
Once you get an update on the cyber crime refund status as resolved, then without waiting for long, take the necessary steps to get your money credited to your bank account.
Here are the steps that you must follow:
Step 1: Check Status on National Cyber Crime Portal
Click on “Check Status.”
Enter your complaint acknowledgment number and your registered mobile number.
If the complaint status is resolved or cyber crime complaint closed, then in both cases, it means that the refund is initiated.
However, in case of a Closed status, there are chances that the judgment is not passed in your favor. In that case, you can escalate the case further.

Step 2: Contact the Bank or Wallet Company
Once a complaint is filed and a freeze request is sent to the bank, you need to follow up directly with your bank or wallet provider.
There, you need to follow the steps below:
- Visit your bank branch
- Provide the cybercrime complaint ID and transaction details
- Ask for the chargeback/refund status
- Submit a written request if needed
Step 3: Escalate to Local Cyber Police Station
If no refund is received within 7–10 days, escalate it offline:
- Visit the nearest Cyber Crime Police Station
- Carry printed complaint, transaction proof, and bank follow-up details
- Request FIR registration and update
You can also file an RTI (Right to Information) if no action is taken within 30 days.
Cyber Crime Complaint Time Limit
Although there is no defined time limit to file a cybercrime complaint, it has been seen that the cases that are reported within a few hours to a day have the highest chances of a refund.
Delay in filing a complaint unnecessarily reduces the chances of recovery, as the fraudster gets time to circulate the funds to multiple bank accounts, making it difficult to track.
Does Cyber Crime Refund Money?
Most of the victims do not consider filing a complaint as they doubt the process, and some keep wondering how much time cyber crime investigations take in India.
Finding it to be a lengthy process, most people don’t even opt for it.
However, we have witnessed the recovery of losses.

- You can also consult a legal or arbitration expert if recovery is stuck

Cyber crime refund is possible, but only with fast action, proper documentation, and follow-ups.
