Are business numbers included in the list?

Without specifying the legal framework (e.g., "Article 500 of the Indian Penal Code," "Article 500 of the New York Criminal Procedure Law," etc.), it's impossible to determine if it has any relevance to business numbers. Most "Article 500s" in various legal systems are unrelated to business directories or number listings.
Which "list" are you referring to? The concept of "business numbers" being included in "the list" implies a specific directory, registry, or compilation. Is this a public directory, a government registry, a private database, or something else entirely?
To provide a helpful answer, we need to clarify what "Article 500" you have in mind and what "list" you are referring to.

However, if we interpret your el-salvador phone number list question more broadly to mean: "Are business phone numbers or other business contact details typically included in public or regulatory lists?" then the answer is generally yes, for various reasons:

Public Business Directories: Many businesses choose to list their phone numbers and other contact information in public directories (both online and offline) to be easily found by customers. This includes platforms like Google Maps, Yelp, industry-specific directories, and traditional phone books. This is a voluntary action by businesses for marketing and accessibility.
Government Registries and Filings: In most jurisdictions, businesses are required to register with government entities (e.g., corporate registries, tax authorities). These registrations often require the provision of official contact information, including business phone numbers. While not always publicly accessible in their entirety, some of this information may be available for public inquiry or for specific regulatory purposes. For example, in Bangladesh, companies registered with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) would have certain contact details on file, some of which might be publicly accessible for verification purposes.
Regulatory Compliance: Businesses operating in regulated industries (e.g., finance, healthcare) may be required by law to publicly disclose contact information for consumer inquiries or regulatory oversight. This ensures transparency and accountability.
Licensing and Permits: When obtaining business licenses or permits, contact information, including phone numbers, is typically required by the issuing authority. While not always compiled into a single public "list," this information is held by the respective government bodies.
Online Presence and Websites: Nearly all businesses today have an online presence, usually a website, where their contact details, including phone numbers, are prominently displayed to facilitate communication with customers and partners. These are essentially self-published "lists" of their contact information.
In summary, the inclusion of "business numbers" in "lists" is a common practice driven by commercial needs, regulatory requirements, and transparency. However, this practice is not governed by a singular, universally applicable "Article 500." The specific "list" and the legal framework determining its content would need to be identified for a precise answer.
