The DoT has also added a clause for provisioning of audiotex or interactive voice response service (IVRS) as part of telecom licence
The Department of Telecom on January 17 amended telecom licences to enable service providers to roll out machine-to-machine communication — a service which is considered as a key driver of 5G adoption — in the country.
While the DoT had issued M2M guidelines in May 2018, the clause related to their provisioning was not part of the telecom licences.
The DoT in the licence amendment has incorporated M2M with pan-India permit, limited to circle level and district level, according to a circular.

Insurance penetration and density are often misunderstood and do not reveal how many families are insured or whether they would be financially secure if the main earning member were to die. The real issue is not reach but adequacy, as households may have life insurance but not enough cover to replace lost income, leaving them financially vulnerable.
