TRAI wants telecom complaints handled via apps and chatbots
TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) is drafting 2026 amendments to simplify and accelerate the telecom complaint filing process for consumers. The proposed changes aim to enable complaint submission via apps, websites, and chatbots, alongside improving the existing appeal mechanism.
Key Takeaways
- TRAI is drafting 2026 amendments to simplify telecom complaint filing.
- The proposed channels include apps, websites, and chatbots.
- The draft also aims to improve the existing appeal mechanism.
- The changes are framed around faster resolution for consumer complaints against telecom operators such as Jio, Airtel, and Vi.
