The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and select banks, launched a Pilot Project on 16 June 2025 to tackle one of the biggest challenges in telecom and digital communication — spam and unsolicited commercial calls.

On 16 June 2025, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) issued a directive mandating that all licensees with Access Service Authorisation under the Unified License (UL) or UL (VNO) must implement full KYC verification for subscribers using Internet Telephony services with mobile numbering series.

On April 25, 2025, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) held a meeting of the Joint Committee of Regulators (JCoR) with key bodies like RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, Meity, and others to tackle growing concerns around spam calls, fake messages, and digital frauds.
