India has given the maker of BlackBerry phones a deadline of 31 August to provide the government access to all of its services or face being shut down.
The country fears the device could be used by militants and insurgents in a repeat of the 2008 attack on Mumbai that left 166 people dead.
The row is the latest in a long running dispute between Research in Motion (RIM) and international governments.
RIM declined to comment on the deadline.
The central issue is how governments monitor the encrypted traffic from BlackBerry devices.
