The DoT has amended the clause regarding caller identification of international calls in the Unified License for telecom service providers in a bid to up security and the public interest.
In other words, any international call without a proper identification must be stopped at the telco’s server level and should not reach the consumer at all, Economic Times reported.
All ILDOs need to verify and check for complete caller identification for international calls, and if not found, need to drop said call and not pass it on to the national long-distance operator.
The amended clause comes into effect from August 1.
