India Mandates Registered Caller Name Display on 4G and Newer Networks From November 1

The Indian government is requiring telecom service providers to display the registered name of callers along with their phone number for incoming calls on 4G and newer networks starting November 1. This move aims to help individuals identify calls from unknown numbers and reduce spam or fraudulent calls. The Department of Telecommunications has issued a circular to service providers to implement this change. The goal is to make it easier for people to recognize legitimate calls and avoid suspicious ones. This new requirement applies to incoming calls on 4G and newer networks. The change is intended to enhance call transparency and security.
