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.

The event is supported by *Internet Society India Delhi Chapter

*"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).*
