As the use of internet and smartphones has increased, many types of dangers have also increased. Smartphones have not only made many of our difficult tasks easier but it has also given scammers and cyber criminals a smart way to cheat people. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has taken many steps in the recent past to protect people from scams and online fraud.
Recently, TRAI had instructed telecom companies to implement traceability to prevent online fraud. This was a big decision. Let us tell you that TRAI had issued instructions in August to implement the traceability rules related to commercial messages and OTP. TRAI has changed its implementation date several times.
TRAI extended the deadline
Telecom companies earlier had time till October 31 to implement TRAI OTP message traceability. Following the demand of Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL, the company had extended its deadline till November 31. Now when its deadline is about to end in November, telecom companies will have to implement the traceability rule to track commercial messages and OTP messages.
It may take time for OTP to arrive
If Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL implement the traceability rule from December 1, it may take time for the OTP message to arrive. In such a situation, if you do any work like banking or reservation, it may take time for you to get OTT. Actually, TRAI has taken such a step because many times scammers get access to people's devices through fake OTP messages and this causes huge losses to the people. TRAI has decided to strictly implement this to all telecom companies.
