The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) recently launched a web portal that allows users to check mobile connections issued in their names. Named Telecom Analytics for Fraud Management and Consumer Protection (TAFCOP), the portal can be used to see the list of mobile numbers issued against a user Aadhaar card. As per DoT guidelines, registration for up to 9 mobile connections is permitted for one user.
Using the portal, citizens can also report the numbers that they don’t identify or are no longer in use. “This website has been developed to help subscribers check the number of mobile connections working in their name, and take necessary action for regularising their additional mobile connections if any”, reads the About page of the TAFCOP website.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to check phone numbers registered against your Aadhaar number and take appropriate action
