You should not entertain call from unknown no. Best to cut the call within 10-15 sec.
Advanced hacker don't even need that much time.

You would need different phones instead of different sims to prevent something like this in my view.

One mobile is fine if it is secure. You need to few things.
1. Keep updated to latest security patch.
2. Keep apps updated
3. Check access you are giving all the apps. There are many apps which asks for access to call/msg. Unless you trust them fully don't give them these access. I am OK losing few hundreds or even thousands in cash back to keep my peace of mind.
4. Auto deep sleep apps you don't use regularly.
5. Try to use stand alone apps or a safe browser like duck duck go for any transaction. Avoid chrome.
6. Once in a while check if any app using more storage/net than they should.
7. Be wary of Chinese mobile/apps or china funded apps.

For some stupid reason hdfc netbanking doesn't work properly in duck duck go/samsung browser for me. So have to use chrome.

Just tell them not to share otp and pin.

To avoid random frauds, use apple/samsung or in worst case pixel. Keep them updated to lattest security patch. There is no escape from targeted fraud attempts.

To avoid random frauds best is to ditch apple....buy android...install truecaller...and dont answer any call from strangers.

Truecaller like many useful indian apps doesnt work on apple.

If you cannot avoid stranger calls because of some business then reject call and call them from non bank phone number or landline or mesaage on whatsapp from unimportant phone number
 
There are so many steps to transfer money to another account when we login to ner banking or banking app-
1. Username and Password or mpin.
2. Add beneficiary with profile password and OTP.
3. Approval of the beneficiary.
4. Cool down period of 24 hours after adding beneficiary.
5. Transfer money with OTP authentication.

How can all these be bypassed?
Losing 10k or 20k by Quick transfer is understandable. But lakhs. How???

Actually truecaller is an untrustworthy app. It sends users data to China and save data in hk/Singapore(Even though its a "swedish" company). Only after multiple threats from govt., they are saving Data locally in india. You can never be sure they have stopped sending data outside or not.

It also sold personal data to chinese personal loan companies. Some of whom asked access to storage and saved personal photos and extort money.

Therefore many organization ban personnel to use truecaller. Armed forces, intelligence and even some labs.
