Resolution of August 28, 2025 No. 1300
From September 1 of this year, all telecom operators from whose networks organizations and individual entrepreneurs call will be required to transmit information about the caller so that it is displayed on subscribers' mobile phones. A corresponding government decree has been signed, which approves the procedure for transmitting and the composition of such information. Work on preparing anti-fraud measures is being carried out under the supervision of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.
According to the document, when a call comes in, the name of the company or individual entrepreneur or their commercial designation will be displayed on the subscriber's phone screen, as well as the call category depending on the caller's main activity (for example, "Bank", "Advertising", "Real Estate", "Communication Services"). The text of the message can contain up to 32 characters, including numbers and letters of the Cyrillic or Latin alphabet.
"The government is systematically increasing the safety of citizens in the digital environment, and the introduction of call labeling is an important step in this work. As a result, a person will be able to see on the screen of their phone not just an unknown number, but the name of the company and the purpose of the call. This deprives fraudsters of their main tool – anonymity – and allows citizens to reliably filter unwanted and potentially dangerous calls," said Dmitry Grigorenko.
Data transfer will be carried out by communications operators on the basis of an agreement on the display of information concluded with a business representative.
This measure is part of the Government's systematic work to combat fraud. In particular, at the beginning of this year, a law was adopted that includes about 30 initiatives to combat cybercriminals. A number of provisions of the law have already entered into force: there is a ban on the use of foreign messengers by employees of government agencies, banks and telecom operators when communicating with clients, and messages from the public services portal no longer arrive while a person is talking on the phone. The Government has also prepared a second package of measures against fraudsters, including about 20 initiatives to protect citizens in the digital environment, which include criminal and administrative liability for attackers. The current version of this document has been published for public discussion.
