If you are interested to know how many numbers have been issued in your name then you can do it via the Department of Telecommunications’ (DoT) new portal which will help you check the SIM cards which have been issued against your Aadhaar card.
The portal launched by DoT is called ‘Telecom Analytics for Fraud Management and Consumer Protection’ (TAFCOP). Notably, one citizen can issue only up to 9 mobile numbers connected to one Aadhaar card, as per rules issued by DoT.
