As per the rule, it is illegal to use a SIM card registered in another person’s name. NTA also requests people to use a SIM card on their own name. Another reason is that Government has started to use mobile numbers as identification on the Nagarik app. They also want to prevent the use of someone else’s SIM card for criminal activities. So, people have been searching for ways to find out if the current SIM that they are using is under their own name. In this post, we are providing the method to check the registration name for the SIM card/mobile number you use. Also, find the process to transfer Ntc and Ncell SIM card ownership to your own name if you have been using it for a long time.

NTA was also developing a process to apply the e-KYC system for SIM card registration. In the first place, they have also put a limit on the number of SIM cards to register on one name, which is two. As known, they will use digital information like fingerprint or retina for the SIM card registration. But it seems like it will take more time to implement the e-KYC system.

SIM card

Nowadays it is very convenient to get a SIM card, from the local shops, stationaries. But 10 years back, it was quite different. People had to wait for months, queue in lines even in the night time to get the SIM card. As it was harder to get the SIM card, people were bound to buy it at a high price, from third party. Those SIM cards were registered in other people’s names, someone they don’t even know. But others get it in the name of their family, relatives, or even friends.

  • NTA requests to use SIM card registered on your own name only.
