From the .in registry


Due to new registry policies of NIXI, the .IN registry, we are required to ensure the authentication of the accuracy of the data contained in the WHOIS record collected at the time of the Registration or the most recent update by verifying the information through KYC/eKYC methods both prior to the time of registration as well as prior to each renewal. Unverified registrations may no longer be requested or renewed.

We are also required to remind all resellers that the use of privacy, proxy or other anonymous registration services is prohibited for all Indian TLDs listed below. This also applies to the use of temporary email services such as Protonmail and others as well as email IDs and mobile numbers that may be specified by the registry from time to time.

The above applies to the following TLDs: .co.in, .net.in, .org.in, .firm.in, .gen.in, .ind.in, .in, .xn--gecrj9c, .xn--h2brj9c, .xn--xkc2dl3a5ee0h, .xn--s9brj9c, .xn--fpcrj9c3d, .xn--mgbbh1a71e, .xn--45brj9c, and is effective immediately. Failure to comply with this registry policy may result in the suspension of the ability to register or manage domains in the TLDs listed above.
 
They say we are gaining privacy but I see a lot less of it in the online world.

Times are changing, will other TLD's be next?
