If you want to reduce this nuisance you have to take some trouble. All the main culprits (ICICI, Citibank, Stanchart, Airtel etc) have websites where you can enter your phone numbers in the Do Not Call register.

If you are not internet-savvy then get someone to do this for you.

If you are already getting calls from these parties, the Do Not Call register does seem to work. As Umesh says, don't use this feature if you have not yet been discovered by them.
