CYBER LAW & CYBER CRIMES

What is Credit Card/Online Banking Fraud?

Law as Applicable and Illustration

Illustration 1

Credit card /Online Banking Fraud Is a wide ranging term for theft and fraud Committed using a credit card or hacked online bank account or any similar payment mechanism as a fraudulent source of funds in a transaction. The purpose may be to obtain goods without paying,or to obtain unauthorized funds from an account.

There are billions of rupees lost annually by consumer's who have credit card and calling card numbers stolen from online databases.Bulletin boards and other online services are frequent targets for hackers who want to access large base database of credit card information.

Under The IT Act,2000 as amended by Information Technology(Amendment) Act,2008. Section 43(a),43(b)&43(g) read with Section 66,66D is applicable,and Section 420,467,468,&471 of Indian Penal code,1860 are applicable.The Victim can register a complaint in the nearest police station where the above crime has been committed or where he comes to know about the said crime.The complaints can also file for a Compensationupto Rs.10 lakhs with banking ombudsman or compensation upto Rs.5 crores with the adjudicating officer of the state and compensation above Rs.5 Crores with the civil court of the relevant jurisdiction.He can also opt for arbitration.

At the king International hotel in Mumbai four tech-savvyyoungsters from Andheri,two of them software engineers,got together to earn a quick money and ended up siphoning off over 3 lakh of citizen's money.The mastermind of the gang was 19 years old Leo Paul. A Second year engineering student at a bandra college,teamed with akashkamble,a 19-year old Lokhandwala resident and ordered the card-reader or credit cards skimming device which can store data of 12 credit cards from USA,using the Internet,since it was directly not available in India.

The boys befriended a waiter at Kings International hotel at Juhu to take their plan ahead.Every time someone ate a meal in the hotel and paid by credit card,the waiter would discreetly swipe it through the magnetic card-reader,which is no more

then 6-Inches long and can be stored in the pocket.Once the waiter was done,he would handover the devise to paul who would download the data from the cards on to Kamble's personal computer.The duo would then feed the data Into blank cards,available in the grey market.The cards were now ready to be used in Shopping malls and theatres,or to withdraw money from an ATM. The boys forged Information from more than 22 cards in this manner.

It is the case sourcing engineering.US $ 350000 from city bank accounts of four US customers were dishonestly transferred to bogus accounts in Pune,through Internet.some employees of a call centre gained the confidence of the US customers and obtained their PIN numbers under the guise of helping the customers out of difficult situation.Later they used these numbers to Commit fraud.Highest security prevails in the call centers in India as they know that they Will lose their business.The call center employees are checked when they go in and out so they cannot copy down. They must have remembered these numbers ,gone out Immediately to a cyber cafe and assessed the Citibank accounts of the customers. All accounts were opened in pune and the customers complained that the money from their accounts was transferred to pune accounts and that's how the criminals were traced.

The Hyderabad police in India arrested an unemployed computer operatorand his friend,a steward in a prominent five-star hotel,for stealing and misusing credit card numbers belonging to hotel customers.The steward notes down the various details of the credit cards,which were handed by clients of the hotel for paying their bills.Then ,he passed all the details to his computer operator friend who used the details to make online purchases on Various Websites.

stock across the distribution chain, valuation of interstate stock transfer s and certain specific services. The Lok Sabha last month had approved the Central GST (CGST), Integrated GST (IGST), Union Territory GST (UTGST) and the Compensation to states law. Now with the rules out I am sure that the GST roll out from 1 July 2017 seems to be certain.The next meeting shall be to finalize rates. All business circles are having a closer look towards this meeting. The broader rates have been defined and aligned however individual rates need to be discussed. It is assumed around 75 items will be under 0%. However this may also impact the costing of the product. Education, healthcare and pilgrimages will continue to be out of service tax net even under the GST regime as the Centre is against giving any shock in the first year of the rollout by bringing in new services.Besides making a strong case to the GST Council for not touching services that are out of tax net currently, the Centre will also pitch for keeping concessional rate for services like transport at the current level. There may be items of services where abatement (concessional rate) is given for valid reasons. So those items, because there will be no provision for abatements (in GST), so they will have to fit them in the rates closed to the present incidence.

assessment eventhough leviable then it can be imposed by way of revision. Except penalty u/s. 45 (6), no other penalty can be levied for the first time in revision. Gujarat High Court decision of Bhavnagar Chemical Works is good law on this issue that penalty cannot be levied for the first time in revision but it does not apply to penalty u/s. 45(6). It applies to levy of penalty under any other section.
