• After this, information about the amount held will appear on the screen.
• Then upload your PAN card and fill the details of the bank account in which you want to receive the refund.
• After submitting the application, you will get a unique request ID, through which you will be able to check the status of your application online.

Who can use the MRM portal?

• The benefit of MRM portal will be available only to those people who have already filed a complaint of cyber fraud on the National Cyber ​​Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP) or helpline number 1930 and have received the registered number of the complaint.
• This facility will be applicable only in those cases where the amount in the bank accounts of the fraudsters has been frozen or held in time.
• Let us tell you that if the fraudsters have already withdrawn the money, then in such cases refund will not be available through this portal.

Rules for hold amount up to Rs 50,000

If a maximum amount of Rs 50,000 related to cyber fraud is held in any one bank account, then the victim will neither need to lodge an FIR nor any court order to get the money back. Only after submitting the indemnity bond, the concerned amount will be directly sent back to the victim’s bank account, making the refund process much easier and faster.
