Legal Framework for Cyber Crime in India

Cyber offences are governed primarily by the Information Technology Act, 2000 (Sections 43, 66, 66C, 66D, 66E, 67 and related), read with the Indian Penal Code. With the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) now in force, cheating, extortion and harassment offences have migrated into the new criminal code while IT Act offences remain in force.

Understanding whether your case is an IT Act offence, a traditional crime committed online, or both determines how the FIR is drafted and which court, police station or cyber cell handles it. A cyber law lawyer ensures the right sections are invoked from the first complaint.
