TRAI 5G Tower Permission Letter: A Complete Hoax Exposed!

A fraudulent letter claiming to grant permission for 5G tower installations in the name of TRAI has been debunked as a scam, with the authority confirming they do not issue such communications.

Supported by

Recently, a fraudulent letter claiming to be from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has been circulating on social media. This letter allegedly grants permission for the installation of 5G mobile towers and offers significant financial incentives to landowners, including an advance payment and monthly rent. Such scams have become increasingly common, targeting individuals with promises of easy money in exchange for upfront fees.

Claim

The claim made in the story is that TRAI has issued a letter allowing the installation of mobile towers while requesting a fee from landowners for commercial registration. This claim is false.

Fact

The reality is that the letter in question is fraudulent; TRAI has not issued any such letters regarding mobile tower installations. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) do not engage in these transactions, and licensed telecom service providers typically do not solicit fees from property owners for tower installations. The claim has been debunked by multiple sources, including:

  1. PIB Fact Check
  2. FACTLY
  3. Zee News

Conclusion

This fact check falls under the category of False Content, as the information presented in the letter is wholly false and misleading.
