From July 1, 2024, the rules regarding mobile number portability (MNP) have changed and most people are not aware of this. Now it will take seven days to port the SIM card to another telecom company.

Telecom Act 2023 has also come into force from 26 June 2024, under which there is this new rule regarding MNP. Telecom regulator TRAI has taken this step to prevent fraud through mobile phone numbers.

You can keep a maximum of 9 SIM cards on one identity card, but having more SIM cards than this can lead to jail. Under the new law, a fine has also been fixed with strict provisions for issuing SIM cards on fake documents.
