The social media platform has also taken down 3,035 accounts for promoting terrorism in the country.
During the given time the company banned 48,624 accounts in total.
Twitter, in its monthly report in compliance with the new IT Rules, 2021, said that it received 755 complaints from users in India in the same time-frame through its grievance redressal mechanisms, and took action on 121 of those URLs.
These include complaints received from individual users with accompanying court orders.
From India the company has received maximum complaints regarding abuse/harassment (681), followed by IP-related infringement (35), hateful conduct (20), and privacy infringement (15).
In its new report, Twitter said that it also processed 22 grievances which were appealing account suspensions.

“We also received 1 request related to general questions about Twitter accounts during this reporting period,” said the company.
Under the new IT Rules 2021, big digital and social media platforms, with more than 5 million users, have to publish monthly compliance reports.
