DoT’s initiative introduces a seamless and secure method for acquiring SIM cards, enabling consumers to verify the necessary documents independently. By eliminating the need to visit telecom company offices, prospective buyers can now initiate the purchase process with greater convenience and efficiency.

In a recent announcement from DoT’s official channel, the department highlighted key considerations for consumers before obtaining a new SIM card. Emphasizing the importance of safeguarding personal documents and combating fraud, DoT’s new rules underscore the commitment to enhancing consumer protection and privacy.

As part of its comprehensive telecom reforms, DoT has introduced e-KYC (Know Your Customer) and Self KYC options for consumers, revolutionizing the process of switching between prepaid and postpaid services. Through an OTP-based service, users can seamlessly transition between service plans without the need for physical documentation, significantly enhancing user convenience.

With the implementation of Aadhaar-based e-KYC, Self KYC, and OTP-based service switch facilities, consumers can now purchase a new SIM card using only their Aadhaar card, at an affordable price of just Rs. 1 (inclusive of GST). This innovative approach ensures a secure and efficient verification process, reducing the risk of fraudulent activities and unauthorized SIM card issuances.

Additionally, DoT has introduced a Self KYC facility that allows users to verify their KYC online using DigiLocker, further simplifying the process of changing service plans without the need for in-person visits to telecom operators’ offices. By leveraging a secure OTP-based verification process, consumers can effortlessly manage their connections with enhanced security measures in place.

Discover the transformative impact of DoT’s paperless SIM card purchase process and how these advancements are shaping the future of telecom services in India.
