Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Respected sudershan goel sir & oth.
The government has finally admitted that everyone who uses a cellphone runs the risk of having his or her calls illegally tapped though off-the-air GSM technology that is available off-the-shelf
it has proposed that those found guilty of misusing tapping equipment will face strict penalty including a heavy fine and imprisonment. Specific sections of the Indian Telegraph Act, namely 20 and 25, will be amended. A public notice will be placed in the newspapers to inform all citizens that any attempts at unauthorized use of such equipment will attract penalties up to Rs 1 crore and imprisonment.
I am using phone with installed call recoring software. Every incoming and outgoing call record automatically in my phone without intimate ot other.
Is this crime under telegraph act 20 and 25 ?

call recording is different from call tapping. there are specific instruments where you can tap a call made by A to B and tapped by Mr. C.
