TRAI's Anti-Spam Measures
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is going to implement new regulation to fight against spam and phishing. From September 1, telecom operators will have to get themselves registered, and their numbers will have to be whitelisted in order to send OTPs and other messages. This new system will also check messages for links that may be a result of the OTP, and this will slow down the delivery of OTPs. The headers and templates of banks and app-based services are required to register by August 31, in order to meet the compliance.

This extension enables the Aadhaar holders to correct their demographic data free of cost. Aadhaar details should be updated in order to ensure that the Aadhaar number is linked with banking facilities, governmental schemes and mobile numbers. Go to My Aadhaar portal on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and then login after entering your Aadhaar number and an OTP from your registered mobile number. After that, you can choose update Aadhaar option, and then you are good to go.
