TRAI notification on National Do Not Call Registry

April 23, 2007 · Filed Under Telecom 

TRAI just a while ago released[PDF] a final regulation on National Do Not Call registry. This will not be effective immediately because it needs approval from Ministry of IT & Communications and also the RBI.

National Informatics Center, will Design, Develop and Maintain the Do Not Call registry. All tele-marketing companies will have to register with DoT and Ministry of Communications within 3 months of commencement of the registry. Consumers can register their numbers and opt-out to receive any unsolicited calls. Violators are likely to be fined in the range of Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 per call. TRAI does it again in copying the America’s National Do Not Call registry.
