💨 Abstract

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is taking initiatives to prevent the misuse of telecom resources for cybercrime and financial fraud. Fraudsters acquire SIM cards or other telecom identifiers for bulk SMS, some procure SIM cards using fake documents, and identifiers are often modified. Such activities are offences under the Telecommunication Act, 2023, punishable with imprisonment or fines.
