CHECK THE NUMBER OF SIM CARDS ISSUED ON YOUR AADHAAR NUMBER WITH THESE SIMPLE STEPS

The Aadhaar Card, which has increasingly become one of the essential documents to prove your identity as an Indian citizen, is now used to issue a SIM card for mobile phones by all operators.

And incidents of fraudulence related to Aadhaar cards are increasing daily, and we mustn’t share our Aadhaar pertaining information with anyone.

To buy a SIM card, you need to show your valid Aadhaar card, and then only a SIM is issued in your name. But, incidents of unknown people giving mobile SIM on another person’s Aadhaar card are increasing. Criminals are using these SIM cards to commit financial crimes.
