About the Financial Fraud Risk Indicator (FRI)
FRI is a multi-dimensional analytical framework launched by DoT on 22nd May 2025 under its Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP) to provide financial institutions with actionable, real-time intelligence for cyber fraud prevention. It forms part of DoT’s wider suite of citizen-protection initiatives, which includes Sanchar Saathi, Chakshu, CEIR and ASTR, aimed at combating telecom-enabled cyber fraud.
About the Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP)
The Digital Intelligence Platform is a secure, nationwide intelligence-sharing and coordination platform developed by DoT to counter telecom-enabled cyber frauds and the misuse of telecom resources. Launched in 2024, DIP enables real-time collaboration among more than 1,600 stakeholders, including telecom service providers, banks, financial institutions, law enforcement agencies and government departments, through the sharing of actionable intelligence on the Mobile Number Revocation List (MNRL), suspected fraudulent mobile numbers (FRI) and related digital identifiers. Through MNRL, mobile numbers disconnected for reasons including cybercrime involvement, failed re-verification, TSP internal analysis and violation of prescribed connection limits are shared with all stakeholders. By providing the disconnected numbers in near real-time, MNRL enables banks and other stakeholders to strengthen their fraud controls, seed correct numbers for service and transactional communication with citizens and prevent misuse of revoked mobile connections. By bringing these stakeholders onto a single platform, DIP has institutionalised a whole-of-ecosystem approach to fraud prevention.
