Gujarat launched the e-Zero FIR system on July 27, 2026, to simplify and speed up the reporting of cyber financial fraud cases. The initiative allows victims to file complaints through the 1930 National Cybercrime Helpline without visiting a police station. Once a complaint is registered, an e-Zero FIR is automatically generated and electronically forwarded to the concerned police station for immediate action. Developed in collaboration with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, the system aims to improve response times, increase the chances of recovering defrauded money, strengthen cybercrime investigations, and promote technology-driven policing and citizen services.
