The Union communications minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, presented the Telecommunications Bill, 2023 in the Lok Sabha on Monday, aiming to replace the 138-year-old Indian Telegraph Act that currently governs the telecom sector. The bill, which was cleared by the Cabinet in August, aims to create a legal and regulatory framework that prioritizes the safety and security of telecommunication networks, while promoting inclusive digital growth.

One of the key proposals in the bill is to bring internet-based calling and messaging apps, commonly known as over-the-top apps, under the definition of telecommunications. This move is intended to enhance users’ safety and ensure that these apps comply with the regulations in place.
