India mandates financial firms to use '1600' numbers by 2026 to fight call fraud.
India’s telecom regulator TRAI has mandated financial institutions to adopt the '1600' phone number series by 2026 to combat fraud and improve call authenticity.
Banks must switch by January 1, 2026, while SEBI-regulated entities like mutual funds have until February 15.
The new series, reserved for trusted financial and government bodies, helps users identify legitimate calls.
Over 485 entities have already adopted it, using more than 2,800 numbers.
The move aims to reduce impersonation scams by phasing out standard 10-digit numbers for transactional calls.
