The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has recommended that the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) encash bank guarantees of telecom companies for failing to pay financial penalties imposed for their inability to curb spam, according to a report by The Economic Times (ET). If enacted, this unprecedented move would serve as a reminder of regulations previously ignored by telcos, resulting in a penalty of upto Rs 115 crore.
