Its was a proposed law (to solicit feedback). Signal is not exiting but would exit if such law comes to India.

But Telecom Authority of India rules out any immediate intervention.

I couldn't quote from the article here but looks like they are going to wait till clarity emerges from International jurisdiction.

Thanks. This bill seems to be about telecom infrastructure. Does not talk about metadata, or encryption. As far as I can find does not seem to touch on messaging apps as well. Was anyone able to find anything related to which provision in the bill would impact Signal.

The power of TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) is also proposed to be curtailed in the same bill [0].

I am looking for that proposed law to understand the provisions. Can you please give me a link to that if it is available.
