📱 How many SIM cards are registered in your name?
1 for personal use.
1 for work.
1 for banking.
Maybe another old number you haven't used in years.
But did you know India is moving towards stricter enforcement of the permitted mobile connection limit from August 24, 2026?
For most of India, the limit is 9 mobile connections per individual — and 6 in Jammu & Kashmir, Assam and the North-Eastern states.
The important part? 👉 The limit isn't operator-wise.
Your connections across different telecom operators count towards the same applicable limit.
So that old, unused SIM sitting in a drawer may be worth checking.
🔎 Do you know how many mobile connections are registered in your name?
Check. Verify. Deactivate what you no longer need.
Because today, your mobile number is connected to much more than calls — banking, OTPs, digital identity, government services and business communication.
👉 Read the full article to understand what the new SIM verification measures mean for you.
