An Aadhar card is asked for while buying a new SIM. How many SIMs can a person buy? A rule has been made for this. Only 9 SIMs can be bought on one Aadhar card, while in Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, and North-East this number is 6.

Many times it happens that a person buys only one SIM on his Aadhar, but the number of active SIMs on that basis is very high. In such a situation, if you also do not know how many SIMs are actually active on your Aadhar, then there is an easy way to find out about it, which is being told in this news.

How many SIMs are active on Aadhar?

The number of active SIMs on your Aadhar card can be found on the Telecom Department's site sancharsaathi.gov.in. Also, if any suspicious SIM is found active, then the facility to block and report it is also available here.

First of all, go to sancharsaathi.gov.in.

On the home page, tap on Know Your Mobile Connections in Citizen Centric Services.

Fill in your mobile number and captcha.

An OTP will be sent to the number. Fill it and proceed.

Now you will get the details of all the SIM cards taken on the Aadhar card.

If you find any number suspicious, then you can report it by clicking on 'Not required'.

It takes a few days for the SIM card to be deactivated. No fee is charged for blocking the SIM.

Fine if more than 9 SIMs are active

According to the rules of the new telecom law, a person is allowed to keep only 9 SIMs active on his Aadhar card. If more than this number of SIMs are found active, then a fine of Rs 50,000 to Rs 2 lakh may have to be paid.
