NATIONAL CYBER POLICE PORTAL
(www.cyberpolice.nic.in)
INDIAN CYBERCRIME COORDINATION CENTRE (I4C)
-: PRESENTED BY :-
C/585 AVIJIT SARKAR, WBCCW
2. Background :-
Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India is implementing a scheme called ‘Indian Cyber Crime Coordination
Centre (I4C)' to deal with cyber crimes in a coordinated and comprehensive manner. Following are seven components under
this scheme:
1. National Cybercrime Threat Analytics Unit (TAU)
2. National Cybercrime Forensic Laboratory (NCFL)
3. National Cybercrime Training Centre (NCTC)
4. Cybercrime Ecosystem Management
5. Platform for Joint Cybercrime Investigation Team
6. National Cybercrime Reporting Portal
7. National Cyber Research and Innovation Centre (NCR&IC)
One of the components of I4C scheme is National Cybercrime Reporting Portal. This portal provides a platform to
report all types of cyber crimes including child pornography and rape/gang rape content.
Under Cyber Crime Prevention against Women & Children (CCPWC) scheme, MHA has already operationalized a
Cybercrime Reporting Portal www.cybercrime.gov.in. However, this was for filing of cybercrime complaints pertaining to Child
Pornography (CP)/ Rape Gang Rape (RGR)/ Obscene Content only.
The National Cybercrime Reporting Portal under I4C scheme will facilitate filing of all types of cyber crimes with
special focus on the cyber crime against women and children. Corresponding to National Cybercrime Reporting Portal, there is
a backend National CyberPolice Portal. This facilitates State/UT Law Enforcement Agencies to view and update the progress
made on the complaints of their respective jurisdictions.

User Management
After launching National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP), Cyber Police back-end portal will be accessible to the police officials
through their existing ICJS credentials if they are authorized to handle Cybercrime complaints by the District/State/UT
administration. Therefore, all concerned police officers are advised to obtain their credential through their district administration or
through their State/UT administration. The procedure for creation of Cyber Police credentials is as follows:
a)The credentials of State/UT Nodal Officer for Cyber Police Portal will be created by NIC ICJS. Presently Admin User for State/UT
Nodal Officer for Cyber Police Portal has been created by NIC ICJS team and shared with States/UTs.
b)The credential of District Nodal Officer for Cyber Police Portal is created by respective State/UT Nodal Officer if they do not have
ICJS credential. If they have ICJS credential, State/UT Nodal Officer would authorize them to handle user management of Cyber
Police Portal by ICJS credential for the respective districts.
c)Nodal officers at State/UT and District level shall be able to manage the workflow of administering their jurisdiction such as
creating/ modifying/ deleting users, assigning the complaints and supervising the disposal of cases.
d) Step-by-step procedure for user creation using ICJS portal is as below.
