The text of the statutes
The Information Technology Act 2000 is available in consolidated form, with its footnotes showing each amendment and its date, from PRS Legislative Research at the PRS copy of the IT Act, 2000. The footnotes are useful because they show which sections were substituted or inserted by the amendment of 2009 and by the Finance Act 2017.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 is published by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology as the official text of the DPDP Act, 2023. The Ministry also publishes the notified Rules and other material on its website, meity.gov.in. When a statute has been amended, always read the consolidated text and check the date of the source against the changes described in the guide to the IT Act 2000.
Statistics and official announcements
The National Crime Records Bureau publishes the yearly report Crime in India, on ncrb.gov.in. The figures on cases of cyber crime in this site are taken from replies of the Ministry of Home Affairs to Parliament, which are published by the Press Information Bureau on pib.gov.in and which restate the Bureau's tables. The page on cyber crime in India explains how the figures are compiled and what they leave out.
Reporting an incident
The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal is at cybercrime.gov.in, and the helpline number is 1930. The guide on how to file a cyber crime complaint online explains what to prepare and what happens next. Because websites and numbers can change, the details should be confirmed on the portal itself.
How to use these sources
A few habits help. Prefer the text of the statute to a summary. Note the date of every source, since the law has changed in 2009, 2015, 2017, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Where a figure is quoted, find the table it came from and check which years and which definition it covers. And treat any commentary, including this site, as a guide to the primary source and not a replacement for it. The study notes in cyber law notes follow this method.
