Trai Mandates Telecom Operators to Act on AI-Flagged Spam Callers Without Complaints
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has issued new regulations requiring telecom operators to act against callers flagged as suspected spammers by AI-based systems without needing consumer complaints. Operators must share flagged call details within two hours and identify senders through KYC within one business day. First-time violations can lead to a 15-day outgoing service ban, while repeat offenders may face disconnection for up to a year and blacklisting. The rules also update spam-call blocking preferences and A2P call charges.
