The government changes the mobile rules from time to time. Now this has been seen once again, but this time the change has been made for foreign citizens. Actually, earlier foreign citizens used to have a lot of problems in getting Indian numbers, but now the government has changed it and made it easier for them to get a new number. Because there have been some changes in the rules for getting OTP and today we are going to give you information about it in detail-
Which users will be affected?
There is no change in the rules for Indian users at the moment. This is going to have a direct impact on foreign citizens. Because earlier they had a lot of trouble getting a new number after coming to India. But in the new rules, it is going to be easier for them to get a new number. Because now they do not need to do anything different to give OTP. Rather they can use Email for this.
What used to happen earlier?
Earlier, foreign nationals had to use a local number to get a SIM and OTP would come on their number, but now it has been made optional. That is, if they want, they can use email to get OTP. That is, it is not mandatory for them to have a local number. Recently, the government has taken a decision regarding this which can give relief to many foreign nationals.
EKYC mandatory-
This is not the first time that the government has made such a change in the rules for getting a new mobile connection. Earlier also, the government had changed the rules for new connections for local citizens. EKYC was made mandatory in this. Actually this decision was taken because scams were happening continuously and in many cases the users were not even aware and SIMs were obtained in their names. This is the reason that now if any user wants to get a SIM, then it is mandatory for him to get EKYC done.
