148 Call Center

In order to enhance effectiveness and efficacy of service, the Authority has an in-house call centre with toll free number ‘148’ which serves as a means of reporting complaints to the Authority. Consumer complaints play an important role in regulation as they provide a useful barometer on consumer detriment and unfair practice. Access to a fair and transparent complaint resolution process is an essential part of effective consumer protection framework.
