Fake Sim Cards: The government has taken major action against Jio, Airtel, Vodafone-Idea and BSNL SIM card users. The government has blocked about 1.7 crore SIM cards of all these telecom operators. These SIM cards were issued through fake Aadhaar cards and other documents. The government is closing those SIM cards which were issued by giving fake documents. In such a situation, you should know that your SIM card should not be issued on someone else’s document. If this happens then your SIM card may also get blocked. The government is continuously banning such fake SIM cards so that spam calls can be stopped.
