Number Masking and TRAI Rules in India

Edesy masked calls run on Indian numbers issued after business KYC, and the virtual number is shown as the caller ID to both parties. Masking is meant for calls between two people in a transaction, such as a rider and a customer. If you use it for promotional calls, TRAI's commercial-communication rules apply to you; Edesy does not check the DND registry for masked calls. This page is general information, not legal advice.

What Edesy Provides

KYC before numbers

Numbers are issued only after business KYC (PAN and Aadhaar; review takes about 24 hours).

Masked number as caller ID

Both parties see the virtual Indian number as the caller ID, never each other's personal numbers.

Two-party, transaction calls

Sessions connect two known parties around an order, ride or listing; they are not a bulk-dialling tool.

Session limits

Expiry and max_calls stop a masked link from being reused after the transaction.

Call logs

Every call is logged with status, duration, cost and your reference, with CSV export.

Recording optional

Recording is set per number, so you keep audio only where you need it.

What You Need to Do

  1. Step 1 of 4: Use masking for service calls

    Use masked numbers for calls tied to a transaction, not for marketing to people who did not ask.

  2. Step 2 of 4: Follow UCC rules for promotions

    If any calls are promotional, follow TRAI's rules on consent, the DND registry and calling hours yourself.

  3. Step 3 of 4: Keep your KYC current

    Keep business details up to date so your numbers stay active.

  4. Step 4 of 4: Keep your own records

    Export call logs if you need to keep records for longer or for an audit.
