<h1>TRAI enforces stricter rules on telecoms to combat spam, imposing fines up to Rs 10 lakh for violations.</h1> Telecom regulator TRAI has introduced stricter regulations to combat spam calls and messages, imposing fines on telecom operators for misreporting spam counts. The penalties range from Rs 2 lakh for the first violation to Rs 10 lakh for repeated offenses. Telecom operators are now required to analyze call and SMS patterns, focusing on high call volumes, short durations, and low incoming-to-outgoing ratios to identify potential spammers in real-time. The amendments to the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations include a graded penalty system to ensure compliance and curb unsolicited commercial communications.
