Its illegal to interconnect it to the local pstn (from abroad). Dinesh. I still don't see how this would stop him from using no VOIP protocols and plugging it in to the PSTN. Just use Asterisk as a PBX, no VOIP, no bypassing the Indian telephone monopoly (assuming that there is one). Actually there are several. It might not make much sense to you, we either for that matter, but it is illegal. To the point that plugging in a system capable of VoIP, but not used for VoIP can get you in trouble. I needed to install a system in India and worked with the Telcos to see if I could install a local-use only system. We were offered the option of buying a $24,000 license, which could be revoked at anytime for any reason. No one could tell us if we would need to renew annually, or if the license fees were refundable if the law changed. So what makes sense to you and I had no bearing in India, and the rules don't look like they'll be changing anytime soon.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Anybody tried it from India ?.
I can not see that its illegal to have Asterisk in India. The TDM400P card should work fine - but it may not be approved to be interconnected to the phone system. (This never stopped me doing similar things). I'm assuming that its possible to connect a 2-wire phone to the Indian phone system - ie - if you have ever bought a 2-wire phone from the USA and got it to work - then there should be no problem. In the UK - BT use a 3-wire system, the extra wire for ringing a bell... but actually provide 2-wire to the house. People seem to have little difficulty with the TDM400 there. I've had no problems all over Africa - you should be fine. Asterisk makes a great (cost wise) and highly functional PABX replacement. This in itself is reason to install Asterisk. The fact that it does VoIP as well is an additional bonus - just don't get caught using it? Up until the beginning of this year, VoIP was illegal in South Africa - never stopped most people. It is possible for telco's to monitor and even recognise and record 'voice' on the internet - but they usually look for common Codecs (u-law, a-law) and probably have better things to do.
