The union cabinet has approved remote access to networks in India, though with some safeguards. First, remote access will be permitted only from approved locations and for equipment suppliers, manufacturers and affiliates. It may not be used for monitoring content. Also, security agencies must be able to access all available information pertaining to transactions. A complete audit trail of remote access activities needs to be maintained for six months.

Moreover, the company's chief technical officer can be a foreigner as long as security concerns are satisfied; however, the chief officer dealing with network operations must be a resident Indian national. To further strengthen the monitoring system, vigilance technical monitoring cells of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will be augmented and will have a director-level representative from the security agencies.
