This one is now processed. Pretty safe to say the proposed amendments were not looked on favourably by the experts, on privacy, security, or practicality. Some interesting detail in the discussion. *YOUTUBE * <https://youtu.be/heSaHIibnmk>|* TRANSCRIPT <https://archive.org/download/ccaoi-telecom_202507/ccaoi-telecom.EN.TRANSCRIPT.pdf> *| *SUMMARY <https://archive.org/download/ccaoi-telecom_202507/ccaoi-telecom.EN.SUMMARY.pdf>* | *ARCHIVE <https://archive.org/download/ccaoi-telecom_202507/>* | *PERMALINK <https://isoc.live/19531>* On Mon, Jul 21, 2025 at 1:46 AM Joly MacFie <joly@punkcast.com> wrote:

On *Monday 21 July, 2025*, at *3:30pm IST* (10:00 UTC) *CCAOI <http://ccaoi.in/>* hosts an online interactive stakeholder discussion ‘*On Proposed Amendments to the Telecommunications (Telecom Cyber Security) Rules, 2025 <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/JPQXdbdwRDCi2xkJUCqurA>* ‘. The Ministry of Communications (Department of Telecom) released on 24 June *draft Telecommunications (Telecom Cyber Security) Amendment Rules, 2025 <https://dot.gov.in/circulars/gazette-notification-draft-telecommunications-telecom-cyber-security-amendment-rules-2025>* (“Telecom Cyber Security Rules”). These proposed rules aim to establish a mandatory *Mobile Number Validation* (MNV) regime, which will significantly expand the compliance obligations for digital platforms that use mobile numbers to identify customers, in order to deliver services, facilitate transactions, etc. The proposed amendments primarily aim to improve cyber security and prevent cyber frauds and incidents. The aim of this discussion is to make the provisions of the proposed amendments more understandable and relatable to a wider audience and provoke thoughts about the regulatory framework India needs and encourage stakeholder(s) to make submissions.

*"Manthan" is a Sanskrit word (मंथन) meaning churning or deep contemplation/reflection. It originates from the mythological story of the Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Ocean of Milk) in Hindu scriptures, where gods and demons churned the ocean to obtain valuable treasures and the nectar of immortality (amrit).*
