How to check all SIM cards registered on your Aadhaar Card
Today, we will learn about how you can find out the number of SIM cards registered with your Aadhaar card. A SIM card is a crucial component of your mobile phone. Without it, your phone becomes useless. Your contacts and personal information are stored on this small card. When we purchase a new SIM card, we need to provide our Aadhaar card as identification. However, it’s important to be aware that your Aadhaar card can be misused.
Hackers can register other mobile numbers using your Aadhaar card, which can lead to misuse of your information. It’s essential to be informed about the number of mobile numbers or SIM cards registered under your Aadhaar card. This knowledge becomes even more crucial if your mobile phone gets lost or stolen, as the SIM card goes along with it.
In such cases, someone could potentially misuse that SIM card. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of how many mobile numbers or SIM cards are registered with your Aadhaar card. It’s also important to immediately deactivate any unused or lost SIM cards.
The Government of India has launched a new portal called “Sancharsaathi” which is applicable across all states. This portal allows you to check how many SIM cards are active under your Aadhaar card. You can easily access this information and report any SIM cards that are active without your knowledge, enabling you to deactivate them.
In this article, we will provide you with all the necessary information about the services available on this portal, including how to check the active SIM cards and how to deactivate them if required.
