In the financial year 2021, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) amounting to 1.38 trillion Indian rupees as reported bank frauds. In 2020 this was a decrease from over 1.85 trillion rupees.

The percentage of the unknown has grown over time, which is an alarming trend. With the growth of the number of attacks, that seems to be an alarming trend of financial institutions becoming less and less capable of identifying who attacked them.
