Synopsis Telecom regulator Trai is seeking powers under the IT Act to act against call management apps like Truecaller. These platforms are reportedly tagging and blocking legitimate commercial communication numbers (1400 and 1600) as spam, hindering government initiatives and legitimate businesses. Trai aims to be designated an 'authorised agency' to enforce compliance, with the IT ministry reportedly agreeing to the demand.
