The Department of Telecommunication (DoT)under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology increased the number of mobile connections per person in 2018. It has raised the number by 18, which includes 9 SIMs that can be used for normal mobile communications and the rest 9 for M2M (Machine to Machine) communications.
According to the guidelines for complete subscriber verification, it is the responsibility of the device maker to preinstall M2M.
The end-user should also update the subscriber details if the device is transferred to any other user. This initiative was taken by the DoT in 2019 for the development of the Telecom Analytics for Fraud management and Consumer Protection(TAF-COP) portal website to extend help to the subscribers.
In 2019, Ravi Shankar Prasad, the Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, made it mandatory for all mobile users to link Aadhaar with their SIMs.
Here are the steps to finding the number of SIM cards registered under your Aadhaar card:
