The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has sought for more powers to impose penalty for violations of licence conditions by the telecom operators. According to the TRAI Act 1997, Ensuring of the quality of service is with the TRAI, but the authority to impose penalty for violations is with the DOT. The TRAI is demanding that this power be entrusted to them so that it can be implemented effectively.

The government (DOT) seems to be in favour of this proposal.  There are some more amendments expected.
