How many SIM cards linked to Aadhaar are in your name? Check online like this, know the complete process

New Delhi, 27 July 2025 — News of online fraud cases are continuously coming from every corner of the country. Cyber ​​crime is now stealing the information of the common man and activating SIM cards with fake Aadhaar numbers. Perhaps you do not know how many mobile numbers are currently being used in your name. Now this question is becoming a cause of concern for every user - is there any other SIM card active on my Aadhaar?

Government's new initiative : Know which numbers are activated sitting at home

To prevent digital fraud and misuse of SIM cards, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has launched 'Sanchar Saathi' and TAFCOP portal. The purpose of this initiative is to give every citizen the right to keep an eye on the mobile numbers linked to their Aadhaar. Now users can get this information online in a few minutes without going anywhere.

Checking process - Very easy, just five steps:

1. Open the website: Go to https://tafcop.sancharsaathi.gov.in.
2. Enter mobile number: Enter the mobile number that is linked to your Aadhaar.
3. Get OTP: Click on 'Request OTP', enter the OTP received on the mobile on the next screen.
4. View information: As soon as you login, you will get a list of all the mobile numbers linked to your Aadhaar number on the screen.
5. Report suspicious numbers: If you see any unknown or fake number in the list, you can directly lodge a complaint from the portal by choosing the 'Not My Number' or 'Report for Disconnection' option.

What to do if you get a fake number?

You are responsible for every active number appearing in your name. Immediately lodge a complaint in case of any unknown number. After complaining on the portal, you will get a reference number, through which you can track the status of the complaint. Telecom operators will investigate such numbers and take necessary action.

How many SIM cards cannot be taken?

According to the current rules, a maximum of 9 SIM cards can be activated on one Aadhaar number. For Jammu and Kashmir, Assam and North-Eastern states, this limit is 6 SIM cards. If more than this number is linked to your Aadhaar, then you may have to pay a fine or the numbers may be deactivated.

In today's digital age, your identity is your biggest asset. Fraud by someone else by activating SIM in your name can not only put you in trouble but can also get you into legal trouble. Through the new portal, every citizen can protect his identity and prevent digital fraud in time.
