TRAI bars apps from blocking, tagging calls from 1600 number series

Telecom regulator Trai stated no app can block calls from 1600 number series. Promotional calls from 140 number series also cannot be filtered by apps. These calls can only be blocked through the regulator's Do Not Disturb registry. This clarification means users cannot tag these specific calls as spam. Customers can register their preferences on the DND registry for blocking.
