According to TRAI report, if anyone makes telemarketing calls from his personal mobile number, then the mobile number will be blacklisted for 2 years. Actually, the government has issued a new mobile number series for telemarketing. The Department of Telecommunications has started a new 160 number series to prevent financial fraud. In such a situation, the banking and insurance sectors will have to make promotional calls and messages from the 160 number series. TRAI held a meeting with telecom service providers Airtel, Jio, BSNL, Vi, MTNL and telemarketers on August 8. In which a guideline has been issued regarding marketing calls and messages.
