If you are a mobile user then there is good news for you. From September 1, a big change is going to happen in the Indian telecom industry. From September 1, mobile users may face some problems during online payment and online shopping. Actually, TRAI is going to implement a new rule in the country from September 1, due to which users will get OTP late during shopping and online payment.
Let us tell you that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has been trying to stop online fraud and fake calls and fake messages for the last few days. Now TRAI is going to take a big step in this direction. TRAI is going to implement a new rule across the country from September 1, in which filtering will be implemented for fake calls and messages.
After applying filters on messages and calls, there may be a delay in the OTP received during online payment and online shopping. Let us tell you that Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea users may face problems due to filtering. In this regard, TRAI has also given guidelines to all the telecom companies of the country.
TRAI gave guidelines
TRAI's guideline states that from September 1, 2024, block messages containing URLs, OTT links, APKs (Android applications) or call-back numbers that are not registered with telecom companies. This means that financial institutions, banks and all online platforms will have to register their messages, OTP templates and content with Jio, Airtel and Vi before August 31. If the platform does not do so, the message will be blocked.
Millions of users will be affected
Let us tell you that this new rule of TRA can have a direct impact on crores of mobile users. Not getting OTP during online payment can cause problems. In today's time, almost all online related work is done through OTT and delay in OTP can cause big problems.
