These draft rules were released for public input on 24-6-2025, are open to public feedback and suggestions, which can be sent to the Department by 24-7-2025.<\/p>\n<h3>Key updates of Telecom Cyber Security Rules, 2025:<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>These Amendments will introduce significant modifications to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Telecommunications (Telecom Cyber Security) Rules, 2024<\/span>, expanding its scope to include new entities like Telecommunication identifier user entity (\u2018TIUEs\u2019), strengthening compliance measures, and establishing a mobile number validation mechanism to bolster <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">telecom cyber security<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li>New rules will define the scope and interpretation of several terms to support <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">telecom cyber security<\/span> enforcement:\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\u2018Licensee\u2019 &#8211; means someone who holds a telecom license under the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018MNV platform\u2019 (Mobile Number Validation platform) \u2014 to help verify mobile numbers.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018TIUE\u2019 &#8211; means any organization, other than telecom operators, that uses mobile numbers to identify customers or deliver services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The government intends to set up an MNV platform to check if a mobile number matches the correct user in official records. This step will play a crucial role in reducing impersonation and supporting secure digital transactions under <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">telecom cyber security<\/span> goals.<\/li>\n<li>TIUEs and other approved services will use the MNV platform to check mobile numbers. In some cases, the government may direct them to do so. A small fee will be charged for each request.<\/li>\n<li>The Central Government will seek support from manufacturers of telecommunication equipment that carry an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number to enforce stricter <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">telecom cyber security<\/span> safeguards.<\/li>\n<li>The changes will improve tracking of mobile devices by making manufacturers avoid assigning fake or duplicate IMEI numbers and help in cases of tampered devices.<\/li>\n<li>A national <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">IMEI database<\/span> will be created to list tampered or blocked identifiers; second-hand mobile resellers will need to check this list before sale, paying \u20b910 per IMEI.<\/li>\n<li>The compliance framework will include TIUEs alongside traditional telecom operators, ensuring consistent standards across all entities handling telecom identifiers, further supporting <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">telecom cyber security<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li>Under the proposed rules the TIUEs will have to follow the same cyber security standards and obligations as licensed telecom operators,including data security and incident reporting protocols.<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Companies involved in the sale or purchase of used mobile devices will be applying for access to the IMEI database in a prescribed format and manner, adding a layer of procedural control to prevent unauthorized access or misuse of the database.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p
