Technical News Office – TRAI, the organization that regulates telecom services in India, has implemented a new rule effective October 1. This rule will have a direct impact on messages and calls arriving on your mobile. On the one hand, you will benefit a lot from this rule, on the other hand, it may also cause you some problems. First tell us what this new rule is…
What is this new rule?
According to this rule, telecom companies will now have to use a specific type of template to send messages containing an OTP, link or any type of sensitive information. This means that if a company doesn’t follow this model, their messages won’t be able to reach your phone.
Why was this rule implemented?
The number of fake calls and messages has increased significantly in recent times. Scammers deceive people using these tools. This new rule will help combat fake calls and messages. Moreover, your personal data will also be safe thanks to this rule. Now only these companies will be able to send you messages, which will be authorized by TRAI.
This may have a direct impact on you
If you are making an online payment, this rule may have a direct impact on you because OTP is required for online payment and if a company does not follow TRAI rules, you will not get OTP. At the same time, one of the advantages is that thanks to this rule you will not receive any spam.
What to do if such a problem arises?
If you encounter a problem paying online, contact your bank. At the same time, if you feel that you are not receiving any important messages then contact your telecom operator. For more information, you can visit the TRAI website.
Don’t take tension…
If we see it, this new rule is quite good from a security point of view. However, some technical issues may arise at first. Therefore, if you encounter a problem, do not panic and contact your bank or telecom operator.
