## Trai releases DRM audit draft
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India issued a draft audit manual for digital rights management-based digital addressable systems, inviting industry comments by October 30.
## New audit procedures for DRM systems
The draft specifies monthly reconciliation of data between subscriber management systems and drm systems with retention of reports for three years or three audit cycles.
## Thresholds for data accuracy
The manual sets tolerance levels: less than 0.20% for subscriber bases up to 100,000, less than 0.04% for bases up to one million, and less than 0.01% for bases above 10 million.
## Key takeaway

Trai released draft audit procedures for DRM systems to ensure compliance with subscriber data reporting.
