Central government announced New rule for mobile Prepaid SIM connection
Posted on: 10/Nov/2012 12:31:46 PM
Taking new mobile Prepaid SIM phone connection from Friday will require physical verification of facts provided by subscribers and submission of forged documents will lead to police inquiry.
Tougher guidelines by the Department of Telecom, which took effect from today, make operators responsible for inaccurate information provided by subscribers for taking new pre-paid and post-paid mobile connections.
Under the new rules, the authorised person selling SIM cards will have to give an undertaking that he has seen the applicant and matched the photograph attached on the application form.
Retailers and franchisees selling mobile SIM cards will have to register police complaint against subscribers if they submit forged documents to get the connections.
All the telecom operators across the country are required to comply with the new guidelines.
