The telecom department on Monday told the Supreme Court that over 90 per cent pre-paid SIM card holders will only be allowed to recharge their phones after proving their identity.
This programme will take off in a year, Attorney General Mukul Rohtagi told a bench led by Chief Justice of India Khehar.
Those having pre-paid cards will only be allowed to recharge on showing proof of identity-based on valid papers whether Aadhar cards or any other such proof.
This is to deter financial frauds and criminal activity, the court was told. The order came on a PIL.
Over ninty per cent of Indian phone subscribers hold pre-paid SIM cards and only less than 10 per cent hold post-paid card SIM cards.
