Good lord! Is that another spam call? Hereā€™s why scammers keep getting through to you | Mint

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) aims to update regulations on spam calls in response to a growing number of scams and misleading interactions. Indian SIM card holders receive billions of spam calls each month, originating in India but being routed through international gateways to avoid legal jurisdiction. TRAI is considering implementing an industry framework, STIR/SHAKEN, which uses digitally signed tokens to verify caller identity. While this framework won't stop the calls, it could provide users with more information and confidence in the call's authenticity. The implementation of STIR/SHAKEN relies on IP-based signaling available in 4G and 5G networks.
