Online Fraud: Online fraud has become a major problem across the country. Most of the sims are used in such online frauds. Most of the fraudsters use new SIM every time. This is the reason why the government is planning to limit the number of SIM cards. As of now only 9 SIM cards can be issued on one ID. However, the government wants to reduce it from 9 to 4. Means, if this happens then people will be able to take only 4 SIMs on one ID. By doing this, online fraud can also be avoided.
People will get 4 SIMs on one ID – Government is planning
According to media reports, Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnav is considering limiting the number of SIM cards to four on one ID. The government has also approved the guidelines on the plan to limit SIM cards. These guidelines can soon come among the general public. Not only this, the government is also considering making the process of verification for SIM online. This will also help in preventing online fraud.
Now only this much sim will be available
With a new service by the government, it will also be known that how many SIM cards can be issued on your ID or how many have been issued. This service is available on Saathi portal. If you want to know whether you have got a fraud sim, then you will also get its information on this portal. You can then block that number.
