Now the process of digital KYC or e-KYC has been made mandatory for getting a new mobile SIM connection. Along with this, the government has also placed a strict ban on issuing bulk SIM cards to common consumers. According to the rules of the Department of Telecom (DoT), any one person can have a maximum of 9 mobile connections with Aadhar card in his name. This rule was made to regulate the connections, but in view of the increasing misuse of Aadhaar details, it has now become necessary to check from time to time how many SIMs are active on your identity. Why has the risk of fraud increased? Telecom companies accept Aadhaar as a valid identity and address document for issuing a new SIM card. This makes Aadhaar based verification easier, but if your ID falls into wrong hands then it can pose a big risk. Fraudsters allegedly purchase SIM cards using someone else’s identity cards. After this, these numbers are used for fake calls, SMS, social media accounts or financial fraud.
