Amit Shah reviews National Cybercrime Helpline 1930, calls for AI upgrade

New Delhi [India], June 17 : Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah on Wednesday reviewed the functioning of the National Cybercrime Helpline 1930 and directed officials to revamp the system using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and multilingual support to facilitate ease of reporting. Shah further directed the agencies to work closely with states to pivot each call to its logical end and asked them to address the grievances arising out of the freezing of bank accounts. The National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) under the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) was launched on August 30, 2019, to strengthen reporting and response mechanisms for cybercrime incidents across the country. According to the official government cybercrime portal, the earlier version of the cybercrime reporting portal, developed under the Cyber Crime Prevention against Women and Children (CCPWC) scheme, was limited in scope and allowed complaints only related to Child Pornography (CP) and Rape or Gang Rape (RGR)-related sexually abusive content. The revamped NCRP expanded its coverage to enable reporting of all types of cybercrimes, making it a comprehensive national platform for citizens. The NCRP was dedicated to the nation by the Union Home Minister of India on January 20, 2020. As per the official government cybercrime portal, to address the growing complexity of financial frauds, a common integrated ecosystem has been developed where law enforcement agencies, banks, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), financial intermediaries, payment wallets, and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) work in coordination to ensure swift and effective action. The Citizen Financial Cyber Frauds Reporting and Management System has also been created to facilitate rapid reporting of financial cyber fraud involving losses through digital banking, credit and debit cards, UPI, and other payment systems. Complaints can be reported through the National Cybercrime Helpline 1930 or the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal. (ANI)

Wibmo Unveils Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant - an AI Assistant for Financial Crime Operations

Wibmo , a PayU company and leading provider of payment security solutions, unveiled  Wibmo Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant (ARIA) , an AI-powered platform designed to transform financial crime operations, at its flagship industry event 'Securing Digital Payments: Innovation, Intelligence & Trust' held at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.   Unveiling ARIA in Mumbai: Wibmo's Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant brings the power of AI to fraud, AML, KYC, and dispute operations   ARIA is designed to support risk teams at banks and PSPs, combining AI-driven analysis with human decision-making and accountability. This is highly relevant now, as digital payment fraud challenges becoming increasingly complex. With the sustained growth in the payments ecosystem, financial institutions are focused on improving operational risk efficiency while maintaining strong governance and oversight.   Early modelling shows ARIA achieving over 70% reduction in investigation time through agents acting in real-time, enabling teams to process significantly more cases per FTE per day. ARIA targets delivering recommendation accuracy close to 90%, designed to improve quality metrics across risk operations teams.   ARIA represents a fundamental shift in how financial institutions approach risk operations by introducing specialized AI agents that support data aggregation, analysis, and draft recommendations, while preserving human decision-making authority and governance controls at every critical juncture.   ARIA combines capabilities across investigation, decision support, and operational actioning. The platform gathers signals from transactions, risk models, customer and merchant history, linked transactions, and historical fraud patterns to automate data aggregation that typically consumes significant analyst bandwidth. Using frontier AI models, ARIA generates evidence-referenced verdicts, identifies emerging patterns through multi-signal reasoning, and provides transparent, auditable recommendations. The platform also enables SOP-driven resolutions, customer and merchant communications, reduction of false alerts, and proactive defence mechanisms against emerging anomalies.   Shailesh Paul, CEO, Wibmo , said, “As fraud becomes more sophisticated and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, risk operations teams must manage growing complexity with limited resources. ARIA is designed to help institutions scale intelligently by combining the speed and analytical capabilities of AI with the judgment, oversight, and accountability of human expertise. While AI agents assist with data analysis and recommendations, every critical decision continues to remain firmly under human control."   Unlike fully autonomous AI systems, ARIA is built with a governance-first architecture designed for enterprise financial institutions. Every recommendation continues to flow through existing approval mechanisms without autonomous production actions, while all analyses are supported by transparent reasoning chains and comprehensive audit trails. The platform brings together specialized agents across fraud, AML, KYC, and disputes within a unified framework, alongside replayable audits and complete operational provenance for every agent action.   The launch event brought together more than 50 senior leaders from banks, fintechs, payment networks, and technology organizations to discuss evolving challenges in digital payment security and the future of AI-led fraud prevention. Speakers from PayU, NPCI Bharat Billpay, Visa, Mastercard, Flipkart, CSB Bank, Jio Payment Solutions, and Network International participated in discussions around acquiring fraud risk management, authentication technologies, and risk-based decisioning.   About Wibmo Wibmo, a PayU company, operates across entities in India, the US, and Indonesia. As a global full-stack PayTech company and an industry leader in payment security and digital payments in emerging markets, Wibmo stands out for its innovation and impact.   In addition to being India's largest authentication service provider in one of the leading digital payment markets globally, Wibmo offers comprehensive fraud and risk management solutions, digital financial services, prepaid solutions, and a broad range of merchant-acquiring services.   wibmo.com .

The recent storm at CBSE began, as these things often do, not with a scandal but with a specification document that was drafted and released as a part of an RFP to select the agency that would deliver the On-Screen Marking (OSM) solution to CBSE. Long before the blurred answer sheets, the portal crashes and the transfer of senior officers, there was this tender document that quietly changed shape between rounds. As per the information which is now publicly available and as reported in detail by Dainik Bhaskar, key technical and eligibility conditions were progressively softened between rounds among them the software maturity bar, the requirement for dedicated Indian data centres, the resolution requirements, the minimum experience threshold and even the permissible error rate. The cumulative effect, it seems, was to lower the very bar that a serious bidder for such a sensitive task should have had to clear. The adjustments to the OSM tender are a textbook case of a government body trapped between rigid regulatory ideals and imminent project deadlines.
