They have to ensure that these shops are strictly following the rules so that the safety of the customers can be ensured.
In addition, the Department of Telecom has decided that telecom operators in some areas, such as Assam, Kashmir and the North East, will have to undergo police verification of shops selling SIM cards. Only then they will be allowed to sell new SIM cards there.

If the SIM card is lost
If the old SIM card is lost or damaged, you will have to go through a detailed verification process when you buy a new SIM card. This will be the same process as when buying a new SIM. This is because it can be ensured that the SIM card gets to the same person whose SIM is lost or damaged. These new rules aim to keep SIM cards secure and help prevent fraudsters from getting access to phones.
