A.Dear Client,
Cryptocurrency/asset trading is not illegal in India, nor is it regulated by specific legislation. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to enable victims/complainants to report cybercrimes, including cryptocurrency scams or complaints, online.
Once a cybercrime involving cryptocurrency trading is reported to the NCCRP, the victim's bank account may be frozen or made inoperative by the bank, with a lien placed on the account, upon instructions from the Cyber Crime Cell. The victim must then await the completion of the investigation by the investigating agency.
The duration of the investigation can vary greatly based on factors such as the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim. It's essential to note that any earnings or gains from fraudulent transactions may subject the individual to legal consequences if proven during the investigation of the scam.
Section 457 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) empowers a Magistrate to exercise discretion in ordering the conditional release of the frozen amount in a cyber scam. In such cases, the police may require an indemnity bond from the victim, wherein the victim declares that they will pay 1.5 times the refunded amount to the bank if their claim is found to be false or if other claims are made on the amount.

The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigating agency, and the cooperation of the victim. Any earnings or gains arising out of fraudulent transactions may liable you to face legal consequences if proven on investigation of the scam. Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a Magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the amount frozen under cyber scam.
