Fraudulent SIM cards being circulated through small retailers poses a potential risk to the
National Security. To bring end to misuse of the SIM Cards and reduce security issues, the
Home Ministry has asked the Department of Telecommunication(DoT) to make the Fingerprint
verification or any other biometric scans mandatory when issuing new SIM Card.
"Sim cards are used for various authentication...if this is taken it can make sure the culprit
cant claim i did not take the SIM. proving is easy if someone used fingerprint and took the
SIM." Experts from Cyber Security &Privacy Foundation(CSPF) told EHN when we asked
about the new verification method.
"It makes it in convenient for people to purchase SIM cards. people cant buy in small
shops...may be we should go to showrooms of service providers and buy it." -
