TRAI amended commercial communication rules to require caller-ID apps such as Truecaller to share user spam reports with telecom operators.
Truecaller called the requirement anti-competitive, arguing it is a one-way exchange.
India is Truecaller's largest market, with more than 350 million monthly active users.
The new rules also say automated and AI voice agent calls must be declared in advance to telecom operators.
Calls not declared under this framework can be treated as spam, and industry experts have raised concerns about enforcement, data clarity, and jurisdiction.
