With the implementation of TRAI’s new rules, users may experience delays in receiving OTPs, especially during banking transactions or online bookings.
Additionally, there is a risk of inadvertently granting access to their devices. The financial impact of these scams has been significant, leading TRAI to take strong action.
Telecom companies were initially given a deadline of October 31 to implement these measures, but they requested an extension to ensure proper compliance. As a result, TRAI extended the deadline to November 31, allowing operators extra time to adjust their systems.
As these rules take effect, users may face delays in receiving OTPs, especially during banking transactions, online bookings, or other activities that require secure verification. TRAI recognizes that while these short-term inconveniences may occur, they are essential for creating a more secure digital ecosystem in the future.
