The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is reportedly considering making it mandatory for telecom players to share KYC details of their users with OTT communication platforms like WhatsApp and Signal in the revised Telecommunication Bill. “Such a provision will help OTTs display the verified name of a caller. The government is of the view that this will help in reducing impersonation and frauds,” a Moneycontrol report said.
