The Department of Telecommunications has implemented new rules under which it has been forbidden to sell SIM cards to minors. Basically, while buying a new SIM, the customer has to fill the acquisition form. Filling this form means that an agreement has been reached between the company selling the SIM card and the customer. The Department of Telecommunications has made some amendments in this form, after the implementation of which selling SIM cards to minors will be illegal.
So now minors can’t operate mobile
No, it is not so, the telecom department has convinced telecom companies from selling SIMs only in the name of minors. It is not said that from now on, children below the age of 18 will not be able to use SIM or mobile. That SIM simply cannot be bought in his name. It is clear that now no person below 18 years of age in the country will be able to operate a SIM card in his name. Not only this, if a seller sells a SIM to a minor, then it will be considered an illegal act.
SIM card will be issued only after filling CAF form
While buying a SIM card, the customer has to fill in the CAF form, till now the seller of the SIM card used to sell the SIM to someone else in the name of anyone, but from now on there can be punishment for doing so, not only that, less than 18 years of age Along with this, the SIM card is also forbidden to be sold to those whose mental condition is not right.
How many sim cards can a person use
Many people are confused about this question, so let’s clear this doubt today. Everyone thinks that a person can use only 9 SIM cards but it is not so. According to the rules, a person can buy a total of 18 SIMs in his name. In which 9 SIM can be used for calling and data and the remaining 9 can be used for machine to machine communication.

From now on there will be digital KYC instead of physical. Now what is this new ruckus? So listen, the consumer is benefited by KYC going digital. Now while buying a SIM card, the hassle of getting any documents printed and submitting them has ended. Moreover, you can convert post paid sim to pre paid or pre paid to post paid anytime without any lengthy process, the consumer does not need to submit any document for this also. With the company’s mobile app, all the work will be done in a pinch. Users will be able to do their KYC on their own and its processing charge will be only Re 1 .
