The government has blocked 65 telecom setups during FY 2023-24 due to the increasing menace of fraud calls originating from international numbers and spoofing of caller ID. These illegal setups allowed international calls with spoofed Indian numbers. In addition, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has directed International Long Distance Operators (ILDOs) to drop incoming calls with no Calling Line Identification (CLI) or improper CLI, and certain prefixes. DoT, along with Law Enforcement Agencies and Telecom Service Providers (TSPs), is uncovering these illegal setups used for anti-national activities, cyber-crimes, and financial frauds.
