Toll-free 1800 numbers

Numbers that start with 1800 are free inside India and usually can't be reached from abroad. Banks publish a separate chargeable number for customers outside India, and our guide uses those numbers.

When to call

India has one time zone, India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), half an hour off from many neighbouring zones. The cards below show your time and the time in India.

India does not change its clocks, so the time difference only shifts when your own country changes.

Call quality

A browser call needs a steady connection more than a fast one, using roughly half a megabyte to one megabyte of data per minute (an estimate).

• Use Wi-Fi or a good mobile signal.
• Use headphones to avoid echo.
• Switch off a VPN if the audio is choppy or one-way.
• Check the microphone permission if the other person can't hear you.
