TRAI has fixed norms to regulate all the disclosures of information made to it.

According to news reports, TRAI has fixed norms to regulate all the disclosures of information made to it. Under the new system, trade and commercial secrets or norms protected by law need not be given to the regulator for examination. However, firms must validate all claims to secrecy on the documents it submits to TRAI. Also, for accessing confidential information submitted with TRAI, firms must prove that the disclosure is in public interest. This will help the regulator access information that has often been denied to it in the past on the grounds that business interests would suffer.
