TRAI's Anti-Scam Initiatives
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of india (TRAI) has put policies in place to shield people against internet fraud and scams.
In an announcement made in August, TRAI directed telecom providers to guarantee the traceability of OTPs and marketing texts.
Following appeals by Jio, Airtel, VI, and bsnl, the telecom regulator originally requested the carriers to execute the regulation by october 1, 2024. The deadline was then extended to november 1, and now it is scheduled for december 1.
These steps might delay the delivery of OTP messages if they are put into effect on december 1.
