In a bid to tackle rising digital arrest frauds, the Indian government has presented a series of proposals to the Supreme Court. These measures include implementing temporary debit holds on suspicious accounts and potentially applying the Prevention of Money Laundering Act-2002 to such offences. The Inter-Departmental Committee (IDC), formed following Supreme Court directions, has endorsed a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) framework proposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to prevent money-mule activities and cyber fraud. The Centre's report, submitted by Attorney General R Venkataramani, highlighted the need for the Department of Telecommunications to expedite the notification of the Telecommunications (User Identification) Rules and related authorizations for implementing the Biometric Identity Verification System (BIVS). This system aims for national-level visibility of SIM issuance, with an operational target before December 2026. Additionally, the IDC discussed enhancing accountability among telecom service providers and improving AI-based fraud detection systems, including monitoring suspicious calling patterns and reducing the blocking timeline for suspicious SIM cards to 2-3 hours.
