What is Chakshu: Fraud Reporting Portal by GOI
The Chakshu portal has been developed under the Sanchar Saathi Initiative. It serves as a Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP) that integrates with Sanchar Saathi. Stakeholders can take quick action on reported numbers, messages, and other fraudulent communications. Users can complain about fraudulent calls, messages, and other forms of communication through this platform. Additionally, complaints related to bank accounts, payment wallets, and SIM cards can also be made.
How Does Chakshu Work?
Users can report mobile numbers and messages used for fake calls. The government can then take appropriate action against these fraudulent activities.

Types of Concerns You Can Report
