The government took a big step to prevent fake SIM card sales.
New Sim Card Rule 2025: A necessary step has been taken by the government to prevent fake SIM card sales. The telecom department of the Government of India has made verification compulsory for SIM card dealers. SIM card dealers have been given time till 31 March 2025 for verification by the Department of Telecommunications.
Let us tell you that some time ago, it was said to make the Aadhaar -based biometric verification compulsory for SIM card connection by giving instructions to the Depression of Telecommunications on behalf of the Prime Minister Office. Now on behalf of DOT, all telecom companies have been instructed to implement digital integrated varies.
Biometric verification made mandatory
If a dealer does not register his dealership by making a biometric verification of his dealership by 31 March 2025, he will not be able to sell SIM card from 1 April 2025. Dot has asked all mobile operators, telecom companies, agents and distributors to complete the verification as soon as possible in this regard.
Let us tell you that in August 2023, biometric verification was made required by the government in August 2023. After this, telecom companies were given 12 months time. But due to non -completion of verification, this deadline has been extended several times by Dot. Now the department has given time till 31 March.
Strict action will be taken on fake sale
It has now been clearly stated by Dot that from 1 April 2025, only the agent will be able to sell SIM card whose verification will have been completed. If any biometric verification is caught selling SIMs in a fake way, strict action will be taken against such dealers.
