Online Banking & Credit Card Fraud Advisory !!
After listening to plight of sufferers from various online and credit card banking related frauds and handling so many cases of fraud right from Rs. 15 thousand  to Rs. 52 Lakhs, i have humbly by experience come to following conclusion and Advisory
1. Every Net banking users should have two bank accounts
2. One in technology oriented banks like icici, hdfc,axis,yes,sbi etc with online banking option etc
3. One account in any other cooperative bank but balance up to Rs. 100000/- only na d if you want to have more balance at hand Rs. 1 lakh each in different trustworthy cooperative banks. Rest can be in fixed Deposits 
[ This is said coz RBI only insures up to 1 lakh i.e if the bank goes kaput up to 1lakh RBI will pay you]
4. In the technology oriented bank maintain only amount needed for handling online transactions as Bill payment or ticketing e.t.c
5. When ever required, money can be transferred to online banking account by cheque/DD/cash etc
6. Go back to your banks and check whether in your account opening form you have ticked for Online Banking or Mobile Banking , please untick the same
7. Please go to your bank immediately and ask them to issue chip based credit/debit cards to avoid cloning(this can take time but RBI had asked banks to do this by june 2013)
8. Any extra cash in the online banking account can be moved to Fixed deposits .
9. Avoid Mobile Banking / mobile payment gateway completely till standards, rules and regulations are formulated, take my word i m getting ready to handle mobile banking and payment related frauds as cases have started tickling. 
10. Even though i personally  hate handling cash, but in Indian markets cash still remains a king and various frauds in banking are asserting the faith in cash based economy again..

    All these points are highly important and should be implemented on an immediate basis. Specifically, point number 7 impressed me a lot where one can ask the bank to issue a chip based card to avoid cloning. RBI had already given the instructions to follow this. The net banking users can have multiple accounts as cooperative banks are more reliable and safe. The fixed deposits are an excellent way to keep the extra cash. One more point I strongly agree with is transferring money to online banking account via several sources including cash, demand draft, and cheque.

What to do when FIR is not taken by the Police ? A First Information Report is the first legal document that initiates criminal proceedings. The first information received about the commission of a cognizable offense has to be noted down by a Police Officer. It is called as  First Information Report under Section 154 of CRPC. Cognizable and Non-Cognizable Offences: Cognizable offences  are offences where the police can arrest the accused without any warrant. In such offences, the police can Suo-moto take cognizance of the offence and it does not require any sanction from the court in order to begin the investigation. On the other hand,  Non-Cognizable  offences are those in which police cannot make an arrest without taking prior assent from the court. Schedule I of the Criminal Procedure Code clearly distinguishes which offenses are cognizable and which are not. According to section 154(1) of the Criminal Procedural Code,  an FIR can be filed only in cognizable offenses.  Schedule 1 of

The aim is to expedite the resolution of conflicts between telecommunications companies and consumers while ensuring transparency in the redressal process. Following an inquiry, a telecom company found violating license or service terms may incur severe penalties, spectrum holdings cancellation, service restrictions, or even be prohibited from providing telecom services, depending on the seriousness of the breach.  How does the online grievance redressal system operate, and who plays key roles?   An Adjudicating Officer (AO), appointed by the Centre and not below the rank of joint secretary, will conduct inquiries to resolve disputes between telecom service providers and consumers. Additionally, a separate Designated Appeals Committee (DAC) will be formed, consisting of officers at the rank of additional secretaries. Individuals dissatisfied with an

Arrest by Police in cyber crime cases By Adv (Dr.) Prashant Mali Cyber crime is a reality but personal liberty is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of the social structure.  Arrest brings humiliation, curtails freedom and cast scars forever. Its deprivation is a matter of grave concern.  The law of arrest is one of balancing individual rights, liberties and privileges,on the one hand, and individual duties, obligations and responsibilities on the other. The police officer can , without an order/warrant from a Magistrate, arrest a person in respect of a cognizable offence punishable with imprisonment exceeding 7 years without mentioning any ' special reasons '. The problem arises when it comes to arrest of a person who is accused of an offence which is punishable up to 7 years. The Hon’ble Apex Court in Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar, (2014) 8 SCC 273 held; Our endeavour in this judgment is to ensure that the police officers do not arrest the accused unnecessarily and
