Expert answers to common cyber crime questions in Pakistan.
The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016 is Pakistan's primary legislation governing cybercrimes and cybersecurity [citation:3][citation:6]. It defines cybercrimes including unauthorized access, electronic fraud, cyber harassment, and defamation. In January 2025, significant amendments were made to PECA to address misinformation and fake news on social media [citation:4].
Victims of cybercrime can file complaints through the NCCIA Complaint Portal at complaint.nccia.gov.pk or by calling the Cyber Crime Helpline 1799 [citation:3]. Complaints can also be filed directly with the FIA Cybercrime Wing or NCCIA Peshawar office [citation:9]. A cyber crime lawyer can help draft and file the complaint.
Under PECA 2016 and the 2025 amendments, penalties include imprisonment and fines [citation:4]. Cyber harassment can result in up to 3 years imprisonment and fines up to Rs. 2 million. Data theft, fraud, and defamation also carry significant penalties depending on the nature and severity of the offense [citation:4].
The NCCIA is the specialized agency responsible for investigating cybercrimes in Pakistan [citation:4]. It is expected to replace the FIA Cybercrime Wing and operates under PECA [citation:4]. The NCCIA Peshawar office handles cybercrime cases from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and has been active in cases of blackmail, harassment, and child pornography [citation:9].
The Cyber Crime Helpline number in Pakistan is 1799 [citation:3]. Victims of cyber harassment, online fraud, blackmail, and other cybercrimes can call this helpline to report incidents and seek assistance from the authorities [citation:3].
The PECA 2025 amendments were enacted to combat digital crimes, misinformation, and fake news [citation:4]. The law establishes the Social Media Protection and Regulatory Authority (SMPRA) to monitor digital platforms, a Social Media Complaints Council (SMCC) for citizen complaints, and a Social Media Protection Tribunal (SMPT) for non-compliance issues [citation:4].
Top cyber crime lawyers in Peshawar include Advocate Atif Zia Khattak, Advocate Syed Muhammad Ishaq Shah, and Advocate Ahsan Masood Khan [citation:1][citation:2]. All are experienced in cyber harassment, online fraud, and PECA cases before FIA Cybercrime Wing, NCCIA, and Peshawar courts.
