Identity theft involves the unauthorised use of someone’s personal information, such as name, Social Security number, or credit card details, to commit fraud or other crimes. In India, identity theft is governed by laws such as the Information Technology Act, 2000, and various provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). At Zolvit, we are dedicated to providing tailored legal solutions to effectively manage and resolve identity theft cases.
The act of identity theft occurs when an individual steals another's personal identification information, such as their name, identifying number, or credit card number, without their consent, and commits fraud or other crimes in their name.
The following activities may be involved:
1. Creating new accounts under the victim's name
2. Fraudulently using a victim's credit card
3. The victim applying for loans on his or her behalf
4. Theft of the victim's identity so as not to be arrested or prosecuted
Victims of identity theft may suffer financial loss, credit damage, and emotional distress as a result of their crimes.
