Telecom Authority of India has directed Telecom companies to disconnect the services of the subscribers who have more than nine SIM cards in their names.
This is being enforced as it is observed there is rise in criminal cases where criminals misuse the multiple SIM cards for various purposes.
The new Norms cam into effect on Friday (25-May-2018) with Department of Telecommunication (DoT) amending the customer verification norms for mobile phone users.
