What is Unsolicited commercial communication (UCC)?
Unsolicited commercial communication, or UCC, is any commercial call or SMS sent to a person who has not consented to receive it, as defined under TRAI's TCCCP framework.
Also called: UCC, spam calls, pesky calls
UCC covers both promotional calls to numbers on the NCPR (DND) list and commercial traffic from senders who are not registered on DLT at all. Consumers report it by calling or texting 1909 or through the TRAI DND app, and operators must act on complaints within fixed timelines. Repeat offenders face escalating consequences, from usage caps to disconnection and blacklisting of the sender.
A business generating UCC complaints risks more than a penalty: its numbers get blocked and its calls stop connecting, which can halt a sales operation overnight. Staying clear of UCC is mostly discipline — call people who asked to hear from you, screen lists against DND and stay registered. Outpero's DLT-registered line and DND screening on bulk campaigns cover the registration and screening parts of that discipline.
