What are the '160' series numbers launched to avoid frauds?
short by Pragya Swastik / on Sunday, 16 June, 2024
On the recommendations of TRAI, '160' series has been allocated exclusively for making transactional and service voice calls. In the first stage, it has been earmarked for all entities regulated by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and PFRDA. The move is aimed at helping consumers easily identify calling entities by numbers starting from '160' to prevent cheating by fraudsters.
