Trai pushes back on spam tag for 1600, 140 numbers

Trai clarified that tagging and blocking calls from 1600 and 140 series numbers is not allowed. Subscribers can manage promotional calls from registered telemarketers using the Do Not Disturb registry. The 1600 series numbers are designated for service and transactional calls by financial sector entities. This clarification follows Truecaller's statement about not marking such calls as spam. Spam calls from these number series have reportedly surged significantly.
