  • Police, CERT-In or consumer-protection actions identifying a coordinated fraud network.
  • New Reliance security features, merchant verification requirements or repeated public advisories.
  • Publish verified JioMart web domains, app links and official customer-care channels across owned and social media.
  • Coordinate with registrars, search engines, social platforms and cybercrime agencies to block impersonating domains and advertisements.
  • Alert merchants and delivery partners about fake onboarding, commission and payment-collection requests.
  • Increase monitoring for brand-keyword ads, phishing campaigns, cloned checkout pages and fraudulent WhatsApp communications.
  • Strengthen in-app verification and customer education around payment requests, refunds and trader registration.
