✋ Is It Legal to Record Someone Without Their Knowledge?

In India, recording a call for personal use is usually not illegal. But if you plan to use it as evidence, ensure:

✔️ You are a party to the conversation (third-party recording is illegal).
✔️ The recording does not violate confidentiality agreements.
✔️ The evidence is not manipulated or edited.

💡 Pro Tip: If possible, inform the other party that the call is being recorded. This strengthens its validity! 🏛️🔍
