Published · Updated
AI-generated summary of the coverage listed below: On Friday, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) strengthened its framework to curb unsolicited commercial communications (UCC). The new rules require telecom service providers to use artificial‑intelligence tools to identify numbers likely used for spam and automated calls. Providers must share these numbers with regulators, and consumers now have a formal appeal mechanism to challenge unwanted calls. The changes aim to reduce spam traffic and protect Indian users from nuisance calls.
