The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) recently launched a portal using which you can check how many mobile numbers are registered against a single Aadhaar card. The service, called Telecom Analytics for Fraud Management and Consumer Protection (TAFCOP).

However, the primary responsibility of handling the Customer Acquisition Form (CAF) lies with the service providers," TAFCOP mentioned on its website.

As per existing guidelines, individual mobile subscribers can register up to nine mobile connections in their name.

TAFCOP portal is functional in these 2 states

Currently, the portal has been made functional for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana consumers.

2) Enter your contact number

2) Now, click on the 'Request OTP' tab.
