Indian telecom companies, including Jio and Airtel, warn of potential disruptions in OTPs and other critical messages starting November 1, as new TRAI rules require enhanced traceability of transactional and service messages. TRAI’s regulations mandate strict tracking of messages from banks and financial institutions, with telecom providers required to block messages with disrupted transmission. Key institutions and telemarketers are seeking an additional two months to comply, warning that without the extension, essential message delivery may face interruptions. These changes follow TRAI’s August instructions to telecom companies to enhance security and traceability, aiming to improve digital safety and combat cybercrimes.
