Settlement in cybercrime case .If the FIR is filed
05-Dec-2025 (In Cyber Crime Law)
If the accused wants settlement and want to return the money in cyberfraud case .what should be the safe mode of payment of acceptance
For safest repayment in a cyber fraud case, ensure it's court-approved (like through a Lok Adalat or compromise petition after FIR) and use traceable methods like bank transfers (NEFT/IMPS/RTGS) or digital wallets (with clear narration) to get an official record, only after police/court involvement, to avoid it looking like a bribe and ensure proper closure, ideally via a settlement affidavit filed with authorities.
The safest and legally admissible mode of repayment in a cyber-fraud settlement is through traceable banking channels only, such as NEFT/RTGS/IMPS or a Demand Draft in favour of the complainant. The accused must execute a written Settlement Agreement clearly stating the amount, mode of payment, timeline, and that the payment is being made voluntarily without coercion. Obtain proof of transfer, acknowledgment of receipt, and, if necessary, file the settlement before the Investigating Officer or the concerned Court to avoid future disputes. Avoid cash transactions, as they have no evidentiary value in cyber-crime matters.
