TRAI Plans Amendments to Require Spam Data Sharing by Call Management Apps
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is considering amendments to the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR) to require call management apps like Truecaller to share user-reported spam data with telecom operators. This change aims to enhance efforts against spam calls and messages by enabling cross-verification and action against suspected spammers. TRAI has concluded stakeholder consultations and is reviewing feedback before finalizing the amendments, expected in the coming weeks.
