India's Telecom Anti-Fraud Stack
India's telecom anti-fraud stack is the set of Department of Telecommunications and TRAI tools that score risky mobile numbers, cut fraudulent connections, block stolen handsets and give genuine callers recognisable number ranges. It is in the news because India welcomed the ITU's proposal for joint trials against cross-border telecom fraud on 9 October 2026, as ASTR's disconnections passed 82 lakh.
