On a different note, many of the .IN registrants are notified OUR.in that when they have initiated the domain transfers, approver emails are not triggering to the domain name owner like earlier times , if the auth code / domain secret is right and the domain name is unlocked.. domain name status is changing to “Pending Transfer” with immediate effect. So no more emails to domain name owners requesting their approval. This increases the potential of domain names theft. I strongly advise you to be more vigilant and ensure all of your names are locked at your current registars to prevent the domain theft.

Disclaimer: This news is not validated with IN registry , so kindly accept this news item as an unofficial news. It’s only an observation we have made based on the feedback received from few of domain name registrants.
So far the domain registrants reported this observation are from european union. GDPR is the privacy regulation made by European union for EU residents. So i believe at least the masking work will complete for the EU who is details. It will be interesting to see how this will change in coming days for rest of the registrants too.
