How To Stop Telemarketing Calls 

 

The National Do Not Call registry allows a person to curtail all his/her unwanted calls. The telephone subscribers who do not wish to be called by telemarketers need to register their mobile, home or office number with the registry. In this NDNC, all the telemarketing companies are also registered. It is compulsory for the companies to delete the registered numbers from their calling list, once it is registered with NDNC. If the registered person receives any calls from the telemarketers, a fine of Rs 500 would be charged per call. The defaulting telemarketers might also face disconnection of their telecom service.

If you are wondering what is a do not call list (NNCL), it is a list that was started by United States and later on, adopted by India as well. It is a national server-based solution, which integrates into the operator's existing infrastructure footprint, automatically blocking the telemarketer's call to a registered number. Once a person is registered under this, he/she would not receive any further calls from the telemarketers. On the part of the telemarketers, they have to adhere to the norms set out by DoT on Unsolicited Commercial Communications or face penalty and other legal actions as well.
