Hello Magic Nation Fans! The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued an update to reassure the public that there will be no delays in the delivery of essential Net Banking and Aadhaar OTP messages starting 1 December.
Responding to misinformation circulating on social media, TRAI has firmly stated that the timely delivery of such messages will remain unaffected, thanks to new regulations aimed at improving message traceability. In recent months, TRAI has intensified its efforts to combat the growing issue of cybercrime, particularly involving fake calls and fraudulent messages. To address these concerns, new rules were introduced on 1 October, requiring telecom providers to establish a system for tracking the origins of bulk messages. Initially, the deadline for implementing these measures was set for 31 October, but following requests from operators citing technical challenges, an extension until 30 November was granted.
