The new rule was also going to be implemented from November 1. But now it can be changed. According to a report by ET, TRAI can change its deadline. TRAI can make changes in its recently released consultation paper. TRAI Chief said that our team has been working on this for the last 2 months. We are constantly taking new steps to make the Indian network secure. But we feel that we need a little more time to fix the network. If this is done, then a deadline of December 31 can be set. That is, the new rule will be implemented from January. In such a situation, it can be extended for some time.
TRAI will bring a new consultation paper-
Let us tell you, the consultation paper was implemented at the end of August. TRAI Chairman says that we are still considering it. It may take three months now. However, our aim is to implement it as soon as possible. In such a situation, we will come up with a new consultation paper in the month of January. 50 SMS have been mentioned in the consultation paper. These are done by telecom operators. Many other messages are also present in it.
TRAI had said that there are many such numbers which are calling or messaging users without registration and this is also causing a lot of harm. Therefore, work should be done to stop such messages immediately.
