  • TRAI Extends Deadline for Whitelisting URLs, APKs, and OTT Links

    Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)

    TRAI extends deadline for move aimed at curbing misuse of messaging servicesIANS

     Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has extended the deadline for access service providers to comply with its directive regarding the whitelisting of URLs, APKs, and OTT links. The original deadline was set for September 1, but in light of issues raised by access providers, TRAI has granted a one-month extension, pushing the deadline to October 1. This directive is part of a broader effort by TRAI to regulate messages containing URLs, OTT links, APK files, and phone numbers unless they are whitelisted. The objective is to reduce the number of spam and phishing attempts by scammers who exploit the SMS service to dupe unsuspecting individuals.

    In a statement, TRAI said, “This step aims to curb the misuse of Headers and Content Templates, ensuring a more secure and efficient telecom ecosystem. Further, in consideration of the issues brought out by Access Providers, the revised timeline for implementing call back numbers will be fixed separately.” To ensure compliance with the new directive, TRAI has mandated all access providers to submit an updated status on the action taken within 15 days and a compliance report within 30 days from the date of issue of this direction. The revised direction also stipulates that all access providers must ensure that traffic containing URLs/APKs/OTT links, which are not whitelisted, is not permitted with effect from October 1.

    The extension of the deadline has brought relief to Indian mobile users, particularly in relation to banking and app services. Concerns over OTP (One-Time Password) failures for bank transactions and app logins, which could have been disrupted by the initial deadline, have been alleviated for at least another 30 days. This allows for smoother financial and digital services without sudden disruptions due to the implementation of the new regulations.  TRAI has introduced punitive measures for non-compliance. “Content templates registered under the wrong category will be blacklisted, and repeated offenses will lead to a one-month suspension of the sender’s services,” the government said.

    Non-compliance will lead to blacklisting and potential suspension of the sender’s services.Reuters

    The telecom regulator added that the revocation of traffic from the sender shall be done only after legal action by the sender against such misuse. This move by TRAI is not without precedent. In the past, regulatory bodies worldwide have taken similar steps to curb the misuse of messaging services. For instance, in 2018, TRAI asked Aircel to refund security deposits of all post-paid subscribers and submit a compliance report, demonstrating its commitment to protecting consumer interests.

    Moreover, the directive aligns with global trends towards tighter regulation of digital services. As digital technology continues to evolve, regulatory bodies are grappling with the challenge of ensuring that these advancements do not compromise user security and privacy. The extension granted by TRAI is a testament to the complexities involved in implementing such regulations and the need for a balanced approach that considers the concerns of all stakeholders. TRAI’s extension of the deadline for the whitelisting of URLs, APKs, and OTT links is a significant step towards curbing the misuse of messaging services. While it provides temporary relief to Indian mobile users, it also underscores the ongoing challenges faced by regulatory bodies in managing the rapid evolution of digital technology. As TRAI continues to monitor compliance with the new directive, it will be interesting to see how this move shapes the future of India’s telecom ecosystem.

  • India’s Telecommunications Landscape Undergoes Major Shift

    Centre notifies new Telecommunications Act provisions, focuses on spectrum utilisation

    Centre notifies new Telecommunications Act provisions, focuses on spectrum utilisationIANS

    The Centre has introduced a significant piece of legislation, the Telecommunications Act, 2023, which is set to replace century-old colonial laws and usher in a new era of connectivity from June 26. This Act is a comprehensive legislation that aims to amend and consolidate the law relating to the development, expansion, and operation of telecommunication services and networks, assignment of spectrum, and matters connected therewith. The Act has been introduced with the objective of addressing the huge technical advancements in the telecom sector and technologies. It seeks to repeal existing legislative frameworks like the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, and the Indian Wireless Telegraph Act, 1933. The Act also provides measures for the protection of users from unsolicited commercial communication and creates a grievance redressal mechanism.

    One of the key provisions of the Act is Section 20, which states that the central government or a state government will be able to take control of any telecommunications services or networks in times of emergency after the implementation of the Act. This provision is designed to ensure national security and public safety. However, it has raised significant concerns about potential overreach and misuse of power. Critics argue that the broad definitions of public emergency and public safety could lead to arbitrary enforcement, enabling the government to suppress dissent and monitor communications without sufficient oversight. The Act also addresses issues like spam and malicious communications, and it introduces measures for non-discriminatory right of way grants for telecom network roll-out and the establishment of common ducts and cable corridors. Additionally, it redefines the telecom sector, introduces regulatory sandboxes, and enhances user grievance redressal mechanisms.

    The Telecommunications Act, 2023, also impacts telecom service providers by requiring them to be prepared to hand over control of their networks if necessary, potentially affecting their normal operations and customer services. It underscores their role in supporting public safety efforts during crises. The Act’s provisions might necessitate a balance between enabling the government to act swiftly in emergencies and establishing clear guidelines to prevent misuse of power, ensuring that user data is protected and accessed only as per strict legal procedures. The Act’s implementation will likely involve further regulations and guidelines to clarify these aspects and address privacy concerns.

    Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)

    The Telecommunications Act 2023 modernizes India’s telecommunication laws and regulations.

    The Act has been introduced at a time when the telecom sector is witnessing significant growth and transformation. For instance, the Nigerian telecommunications sector, currently ranked as the largest in Africa, is expected to grow from USD 8.68 billion in 2023 to USD 10.92 billion by 2028. The growth in 5G deployment across the country, growth in data consumption, proliferation of the Internet of Things, increased smartphone and mobile app usage, increased investments in the sector, and growing government initiatives and policies to drive internet infrastructure and broadband connection in Nigeria are among the factors contributing to this growth.

    The introduction of the Telecommunications Act, 2023, is a development in the telecom sector, and its implementation will likely have far-reaching implications for the industry, the government, and the users. As the Act comes into effect, it will be crucial to monitor its impact on the telecom sector, the balance of power between the state and citizens, and the protection of user privacy and data security.  As the Act comes into effect, it will be crucial to monitor its impact on the telecom sector, the balance of power between the state and citizens, and the protection of user privacy and data security. The Act’s implementation will likely involve further regulations and guidelines to clarify these aspects and address privacy concerns. The introduction of this Act is a testament to the government’s commitment to adapting to the rapid technological advancements in the telecom sector, while also addressing the critical issues of national security, public safety, and user privacy.

  • Big relief for mobile users! The deadline for implementing the new rule has been extended

    TRAI has given a big relief to crores of mobile users of the country by extending the deadline to implement the new rules to prevent fake SMS. Earlier, the telecom regulator was going to implement it from 1 September 2024.

    On the demand of access service providers and other stakeholders, the regulator has decided to extend this deadline. Recently, TRAI had given a deadline of 31 August 2024 to telecom service providers and telemarketers to whitelist messages containing URL, APK and OTT links to stop fake SMS and calls.

    Deadline extended

    With the implementation of the new rules of the Department of Telecommunications, messages and calls with fake links can be curbed. However, many telemarketers have not yet whitelisted their message templates, due to which after the implementation of the new rule, users could face problems in receiving messages with OTP and in making online payments etc. Seeing the problems of the users, the telecom regulator has now extended its deadline by 1 month i.e. 30 days. Now these rules will come into effect from October 1, 2024.

    TRAI had held a meeting with telecom operators, telemarketers and other stakeholders on August 8 earlier this month, in which it had issued guidelines regarding marketing messages and calls.

    TRAI gave strict orders

    TRAI had said in its direction that if any entity misuses its SIP/PRI lines for making spam calls, all telecom resources of the entity will be disconnected by its telecom service provider (TSP) and the entity will be blacklisted.

    This information will be shared by the Telecom Service Provider (TSP) with all other TSPs who, in turn, will disconnect all telecom resources allocated to that entity and blacklist it for a period of up to two years. No new telecom resources will be allocated to it by any TSP during the period of blacklisting.

    From September 1, 2024, no SMS will be allowed to be delivered that contains spam URLs/APK links that are not included in the whitelist. TRAI has now extended this deadline by 30 days. That is, from October 1, messages without whitelisting will not be received by users. Apart from this, the regulator has given telecom service providers time till October 31, 2024 to implement chain binding between the entity and the telemarketer so that such message flow can be traced.

  • India’s fiscal deficit for April-July stands at 17.2 pc of full-year target

    India's April-Dec fiscal deficit at 55% of full year target

    India’s April-Dec fiscal deficit at 55% of full year targetIANS

    The Central government’s fiscal deficit in the first four months (April-July) of the current financial year stands at Rs 2.77 lakh crore which works out to 17.2 per cent of the full-year target and is lower than the corresponding figure of 33.9 per cent in the same period last year, according to official data released on Friday.

    The data showed that net tax receipts for the period stood at Rs 7.15 lakh crore, or 27.7 per cent of the annual target, which is higher compared with Rs 5.83 lakh crore for the same period last year.

    The total government expenditure during the period was Rs 13 lakh crore or about 27 per cent of the annual target.

    “The Government of India’s fiscal deficit more than halved to Rs 2.8 lakh crore or 18 per cent of the FY 2025 budget estimate in April-July FY2025, from Rs. 6.1 lakh crore in April-July FY2024,” ICRA chief economist Aditi Nayar said.

    Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has fixed the fiscal deficit at 4.9 per cent of GDP in the Union Budget 2024-25 down from 5.6 per cent in 2023-24, as part of the government’s policy of sticking to the fiscal consolidation path.

    “The gross and net market borrowings through dated securities during 2024-25 are estimated at Rs 14.01 lakh crore and Rs 11.63 lakh crore respectively. Both will be less than that in 2023-24,” she said.

    The reduced borrowings by the government will leave more money in the banking system for companies to borrow for investments which will help to spur growth and create more jobs. Sitharaman said that for FY 2024-25, the total receipts other than borrowings and the total expenditure are estimated at Rs 32.07 lakh crore and Rs 48.21 lakh crore, respectively.

    The net tax receipts are estimated at Rs 25.83 lakh crore.

    “The fiscal consolidation path announced in 2021 has served our economy very well, and we aim to reach a deficit below 4.5 per cent next year,” the Finance Minister said in her budget speech.

This collaborative initiative is spearheaded by the Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC) and Visa, under the guidance of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.

    The tourism industry in India holds immense potential to drive economic growth and generate millions of jobs across the country. This partnership with Visa is a pivotal step towards realizing and unlocking that potential.

The aim is to enhance the tourism service experience for tourists visiting these regions.

The tourism sector is a significant contributor to India’s economy, accounting for over $231 billion in GDP and employing more than 42 million people in 2023.

    As the post-pandemic travel landscape continues to grow, the initiative will ensure a skilled workforce to support India’s ambitions of becoming a global tourism hub.

Similarly, the partnership between the government and Visa is expected to have a transformative impact on the tourism industry.
