This new Sanchar Saathi portal of DoT is an upgrade version of the already running TAFCOP (Telecom Analytics for Fraud Management and Consumer Protection) portal. Earlier this portal was for the users of some states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, which has now been launched all over India. With this many agencies including CEIR have been integrated.
How many SIM cards have been issued in your name?
Whenever we have to take a new connection, we give many documents including our photo ID to the point of sale center authorized by the telecom operators. Many times many SIM cards are issued in your name by misusing your documents. In such a situation, there is a possibility of online fraud. This online portal of Sanchar Saathi can help you with this.
