The Government of India had come up with a website some time ago named TAFCOP (Telecom Analytics for Fraud Management and Consumer Protection). It is operated by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) of the Government of India.

1. You can see how many SIMs are running in your name.

2. Unwanted SIM can be switched off.

3. Can view the details of your SIM, such as SIM number, issue date, etc.

4. You can register a complaint about your SIM.

To access the TAFCOP portal, you need to enter your UID card number and date of birth. You will also receive an OTP, which you will have to enter.
