New Delhi
Listen to This Article
The government is not keen on giving further relief to Vodafone Idea (Vi) in the form of relaxed or extended payment schedule for the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) amount due from FY26 onwards, according to officials.
While discussions with the country's third-largest telecom player are ongoing, giving further financial leeway is becoming increasingly difficult, an official at the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) said. To be specific, the government is not willing to convert more dues into equity and cannot reduce the ₹84,000 crore AGR amount owed by the company.

'Jio, Airtel, Vodafone Idea use analytical tools, AI algorithms to identify spam'
NEW DELHI: Incumbent telecom operators such as Reliance Jio , Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea are using analytical tools and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to identify pesky messages and voice calls, and are aggressively working on a pilot program together with banks for the newly-launched consent management framework. 'Telecom service providers are utilising sophisticated analytical tools and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to detect unusual calling and messaging patterns indicative of spam or unauthorized marketing activities or fraud,' the Cellular Operators Association of India ( COAI ) Director-General SP Kochhar told ETTelecom. Delhi-based telco group represents Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea. Telcos are proactively identifying potential violators and blocking their communication swiftly, as a part of continuous analysis, he added. Using an artificial Intelligence (AI)-machine learning (ML) based platform allows operators to detect, prevent and suspend fraudulent communication. Nearly half of the messages received by about 1.10 billion subscribers are spam. 'As India races toward a $1 trillion digital economy, trust will be its true currency. With consumers receiving 8–10 spam calls a day, it's time for industry and regulators to come together to build a cleaner, safer, and more respectful telecom ecosystem, one that inspires lasting confidence in our digital future,' said Vinish Bawa, partner and telecom sector leader, PwC India. Kochhar added that the telecom carriers are addressing unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) from unregistered telemarketers (UTM) making calls or sending SMS using regular 10-digit numbers through multiple proactive and preventive measures. Following the recent amendment to TCCCPR, telcos are working closely with the regulator by implementing recommended modules such as consumer preference registration, complaint management, blocking traffic from unregistered headers, content and consent-based scrubbing, whitelisting and scrubbing of OTT links, call back numbers and email addresses, and deactivation of unused headers and templates. The 1600 number series is also being implemented by telecom operators to identify transactional and service-related voice calls, particularly from government entities and regulated businesses like banks and financial institutions. 'Telecom service providers are currently working on the pilot for the new consent framework along with banks under the supervision of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ( Trai ),' he said. Under the initiative, the telecom watchdog validated the operational, technical, and regulatory aspects of a digital consent registration. The sector regulator, together with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has partnered with select banks and telecom service providers to pilot the framework. These banks include State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB), Canara Bank, ICICI, HDFC, and Kotak Mahindra Bank. 'In an increasingly digitalised world, cross sectoral collaboration among regulators is crucial for coordinated enablement of services and protection of consumers from harm. In a digital first economy, collaboration among financial sector regulators, digital communication regulators and the security agencies becomes paramount. TRAI appreciates the swift collaboration being facilitated through JCoR in building a reliable and safer communication environment,' TRAI Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti on Tuesday said. Lahoti reiterated the need for practical safeguards that deter spam and fraud without placing undue burden on legitimate businesses, and urged sectoral regulators to accelerate implementation within their respective domains and monitor progress closely. Earlier, a Trai official said that the initiative aims to achieve a larger objective of safeguarding consumer interest and reinforcing trust in legitimate commercial communication. Last year, the watchdog launched a program to build a secure and interoperable digital consent registry, maintained by telcos, to acquire consumer consent digitally In February this year, the regulator amended the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR), 2018, to curb spam messages and calls.

In March 2021, the Additional Superintendent of Stamps determined stamp duty chargeable on the NCLT order at Rs 25 crore and also alleged non-payment of stamp duty and then imposed a penalty under the Act, according to the appeal in the SC.

Trai meets RBI, Sebi, MHA, Meity, other regulators on curbing spam, fraud
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Tuesday met representatives from the Reserve Bank of India, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), and other sectoral regulators to discuss measures against spam, fraud, and misuse of telecom infrastructure. "In an increasingly digitalised world, cross-sectoral collaboration among regulators is crucial for the coordinated enablement of services and the protection of consumers from harm. In a digital-first economy, collaboration among financial sector regulators, digital communication regulators, and security agencies becomes paramount," Trai Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti said. During the meeting on Tuesday, the joint committee of regulators decided that, although there was an urgent need for a transition to the 1600-series for all commercial calls in the banking, financial services, and insurance sector, it should be implemented in a phased manner, depending on the scale of operations of the companies in that sector. Further, the regulators launched a pilot project on digital consent acquisition to replace unverifiable, offline consent with a secure digital mechanism for user consent on commercial calls and messages. 'The new mechanism will enable consumers to digitally register, review, and revoke consents through a simple, unified, and tamper-proof interface. Four dedicated working groups will oversee the technical, operational, and awareness-building aspects of the pilot,' Trai said. Additionally, the joint committee of regulators discussed the need for a new enforcement tool that would enable the automated exchange of spam and cyber-fraud data between the MHA's Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre and the Digital Intelligence Platform of the DoT. 'This will enable swift action against the telecom resources of the fraudsters, such as number disconnection, to prevent them from carrying out further frauds,' Trai said.
