How to fight Online Banking Fraud  ?
Every good thing comes at a cost. 
Take the case of net banking. Online banking has made life easy for customers in many ways. They can now do a lot of banking transactions from home and do not need to visit their bank for routine works. However, the bank customers need to be vigilant to ensure that they don’t fall prey to identity theft fraudsters, who employ many ways to steal money from the customer’s account.


While accessing the bank’s website, the customer should always look out for padlok and the URL starting with “https”


 Bank customers can take several steps to check fraudsters and protect their identity online. The first step for protecting identity starts with an understanding of the identity theft and being prepared to protect personal data from thieves .

While preventive measures are necessary, it is also important for bank customers to be aware of what to do when they fall prey to fraudsters.

following steps to take immediately after learning about the crime:

  • Once you are sure that your identity is stolen, contact the police and file a complaint – reporting theft is the first step in the process.
  • Call your bank and credit card companies, asking them to block the account or card in question.
  • Notify them of any fraudulent activity. While reimbursement might be a longer process, they can close/freeze the unauthorized account immediately. Also, ask them to set up a fraud alert and to check if anyone has tried to get credit using your name.
  • Also, from a digital standpoint – change your password to minimize further access to your accounts.
  • Most importantly, register all relevant conversations including any of the paperwork with the police or the bank and organize your data at a centralized place. You can use this as evidence for your case to help you resolve the chaos that identity theft can create. Being prompt and organized without panicking, is key to tackling it.
  • As you work with the police, credit reporting agencies and concerned financial institutions, it’s critical that you be your best advocate and stay on top of the process until it is resolved.

Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS) is an enhanced version of Food Licensing and Registration System (FLRS) which was launched in 2012 for issuance of pan-India FSSAI Licenses and Registration.      It had evolved incrementally and organically with changing regulatory needs. The technology on which it was built was outdated with technical support no longer available. Over years users complained of slow speed of FLRS and software experts resisted new changes on FLRS thus impeding any further improvement, expansion and innovation in the licensing system. Thus the migration from FLRS to FoSCoS was imperative. FoSCoS is built using latest technology with a vision to have modern on stop pan-India IT platform for food safety
