The government has made full preparations to provide relief to crores of mobile users of the country from cyber fraud. The government has started making a list of those people who will not be issued SIM cards again. Under the new SIM card rules, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has started taking strict action. Recently, a campaign has been started to curb fake calls and SMS under the new rules of TRAI. Lakhs of mobile numbers have been closed after reporting.

According to the report of CNBC Awaaz, the Department of Telecommunications has started making a blacklist to prevent cyber crime. The government is in the mood to take strict action in this matter. Let us tell you that according to the report, those who get SIM cards issued in someone else's name or send fraudulent messages will now be in trouble. The government will take strict action against them. Such users will be placed in the category of those who pose a threat to cyber security.

There will be a ban for up to 3 years

By blacklisting such users, their SIM cards will be blocked. Also, no connection will be issued in their name for 6 months to 3 years. Under the new rules, getting a SIM card issued in someone else's name is a crime. Apart from this, sending fake messages has also been put in the category of punishable crime.

SIM cards will not be issued

From 2025, the names of such users will be added to the blacklist and shared with all telecom operators so that SIM cards are not issued in their name again. Under the cyber security rules, the government has decided to create a Repository of Persons. After making a list of such users, they will be sent a notice by the government, which will have to be answered within 7 days.

In matters of public interest, the government can take action even without notice. In such a case, a new SIM card will not be issued for 6 months to 3 years. The government had notified these rules related to cyber security in November this year. Many new provisions have been added to it, using which the government is preparing to take action.
