From the last week of September, mobile phone and landline users registered with the National Customer Preference Registry - a modified version of what was earlier called Do Not Call Registry - will be free from these phone calls and text messages.
Trai had announced the new rules last year under which telemarketers, who call customers registered with Do Not Call, would face fines of 75,000 for the first violation and up to 2.5 lakh for the sixth offence, following which they would be blacklisted for two years. However, this has not been implemented yet.
A common and easily identifiable number series for calls and SMSes emanating from telemarketers wasn't available, which initially delayed implementation.
