sim binding rules

The tag 'sim binding rules' covers India's Department of Telecommunications directive requiring messaging platforms to remain continuously linked to the physical SIM card used at registration. This includes mandatory re-authentication for web and desktop sessions at short intervals, such as a six-hour logout. The policy aims to improve traceability against cross-border fraud but introduces technical, privacy, and workflow challenges for users and app vendors. Discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on the implications for OTT apps, user experience, and compliance requirements under the new rules.
