**Tell callers two things in the first sentence: that it's an automated call, and that it's
recorded.** It takes five seconds, reduces complaints, and is exactly what enterprise and healthcare
buyers ask about first. A clinic evaluating AI receptionists put "how are patients informed about
recording?" near the top of its list (see [20 questions clinics ask](https://edesy.in/blog/questions-clinics-ask-before-buying-ai-receptionist-2026)).
Below is ready-to-use wording in English, Hindi and regional languages, where to place it, and what
to avoid. This is practical guidance, not legal advice.

## The three things to say

1. **Who is calling**: your business name.
2. **That it's automated**: "an automated assistant".
3. **That it's recorded**: "this call is recorded for quality purposes".

## Ready-to-use wording

> liye record ki ja rahi hai.

Keep the notice to one sentence, in the caller's language, before the main question. To fill in your
company name and get the line ready to paste, use the [call recording disclosure generator](https://edesy.in/tools/call-recording-disclosure-generator).

## Where to place it

- **Outbound calls**: in the opening line, right after the greeting.
- **Inbound calls**: in the agent's first reply.
- **Healthcare**: add the emergency path in the same greeting; see
  [AI night receptionist for hospitals](https://edesy.in/blog/ai-night-receptionist-hospital-overflow-calls-2026).

## If the caller objects

> No problem. Would you like a callback from our team instead, or the details on WhatsApp?

Record the preference, don't continue the automated call, and honour it next time.

## What to avoid

- **Hiding the notice** at the end or after personal details.
- **Long legal text** read aloud. Keep it to one sentence; publish the full policy on your website.
- **Pretending to be human.** If asked "are you a robot?", answer honestly.
- **Different notices by language.** Keep the same meaning in every language.

## Beyond the notice

A recording notice is only part of handling personal data responsibly. Decide how long recordings are
kept, who can access them, and how people can ask for deletion. Get written answers from your vendor.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I need to tell callers an AI call is recorded?

It is good practice and increasingly expected by customers, regulators and enterprise buyers, especially in healthcare and finance. Say it in the greeting, before any personal details are discussed. Check the rules for your sector with your compliance adviser.

### Where in the call should the recording notice go?

In the opening greeting, in one short sentence, before the main question. Putting it later, after the caller has shared details, defeats the purpose.

### Should the AI say it is automated?

Yes. Tell callers it is an automated assistant and who it is calling on behalf of, and offer a person on request. Honesty up front reduces complaints.

### What if the caller objects to recording?

Offer an alternative: a callback from a person, or information by WhatsApp or SMS, and record their preference. Don't continue the automated call against their wishes.

### Does this cover DPDP Act requirements?

A recording notice is one part. Under the DPDP Act you also need a lawful basis for processing, clear purpose, reasonable retention and a way for people to exercise their rights. Get advice for your organisation.
