The Department of Telecommunications has launched a revolutionary initiative known as the Sanchar Saathi portal. This citizen-centric project aims to enhance the power of mobile subscribers, bolster security measures, and broaden awareness about government-led initiatives.
The Sanchar Saathi portal, accessible through sancharsaathi.gov.in, offers an array of features designed to promote personal safety and information security. The benefits are extensive, and here’s how you can make the most of it:
TAFCOP: This feature helps mobile subscribers check the number of mobile connections taken in their name. It also allows reporting of mobile connections that are not required or not taken by the subscriber.
Report and Block Unwanted Connections: In case of a fraudulent or undesired connection, you can report it directly through the portal, leading to its subsequent disconnection. As per government data, more than 36 lakh such connections have been disconnected to date.
Lost or Stolen Mobile Phones: If your mobile phone is lost or stolen, the portal provides an option to block it across all telecom operators in India. This feature ensures the lost/stolen device cannot be used, enhancing personal security.
Check IMEI Authenticity: Before purchasing a mobile phone, you can use the portal to verify the genuineness of its IMEI number, thereby preventing the purchase of counterfeit or stolen devices.
Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR): The portal also incorporates a feature called CEIR, which assists in tracing lost/stolen mobile devices. If anyone attempts to use the blocked device, it triggers traceability, allowing the device to be located.
Keep Yourself Aware: The portal provides regular updates and awareness materials on various aspects related to end-user security, telecom, and information security, helping citizens stay informed and vigilant.
This robust initiative offers a one-stop platform for mobile subscribers to manage their connections securely and efficiently. Ensuring your safety and preventing fraud has never been more convenient.
Take advantage of the Sanchar Saathi portal today by visiting their website and registering your mobile number. Stay secure, stay informed!
