Laws (if any) pertaining to call recording announcement in smartphones.

Respected Sir/Madam,

This is a general query for my understanding. Most android mobile phones for quite some time have a call recording feature at least in India.

These days many phones make an audio announcement to both or all parties in call when you record a call on your phone. W.r.t. this action is there any clear info available on what laws or Government mandates exists in India regarding this call recording announcement.

Most phones have it, I believe some don’t and for some others some workaround is there to record a call without this announcement.

I am just trying to understand if such a call recording announcement in  smartphones is mandatory by law in India? If so is there any official info /documentation available online?

Thanks and regards

There's no law making it mandatory to have the call recordings facility in mobile phone. 

The automatic call recording will be an authentic evidence in case of legal disputes. 

If you still want more education on it you can contact your tutor.

What is the context for this query?

Good question...what is the context for this query.

I read somewhere that in some countries like USA there's One party consent law when it comes to call recording in phones. So it's legal to record a call if any one of the parties is aware that call is being recorded.

Google dialer in many phones sold worldwide have a mandatory announcement that this call is being recorded and it's a legal requirement in those countries.

What about India, what laws prevail here when it comes to call recording in phone?

I am not asking if it's mandatory to put it in phone! What I am asking is - is it mandatory to make an announcement to other party(ies) in India that call is being recorded?

I hope the context is clear! English is not my first language, so there might have been inadvertant errors in my original post!

Thank you!
