Sanchar Saathi is a citizen-focused initiative by the Government of India that helps people stay informed, protected, and in control of their mobile connections. It is designed to address common issues like unknown SIM cards issued in your name, mobile phone theft, and misuse of telecom services. The platform gives users visibility and control over how their mobile identity is being used.
Many people are unaware that:
Multiple SIM cards can be issued using their identity
A stolen phone can still be misused if not blocked
Fake or non-compliant devices are still in circulation
Sanchar Saathi exists to close this awareness gap and provide citizens with simple tools to take action before problems turn into serious fraud or financial loss.
Sanchar Saathi offers practical services that directly impact everyday mobile users:
View mobile numbers linked to your identity Know exactly how many connections are active in your name.
Raise a concern for unknown connections Flag numbers you don’t recognize and initiate corrective action.
Block a lost or stolen phone Prevent misuse of your device across telecom networks in India.
Check mobile device legitimacy Verify whether a handset is genuine and approved for use.
Protect your digital identity Reduce the risk of telecom-related fraud and misuse.
Sanchar Saathi can be accessed through official government platforms.
The online portal (https://www.sancharsaathi.gov.in/) allows users to submit requests, check connection details, and track actions taken.
The Sanchar Saathi app brings all services to your phone, making it easier to act quickly when needed.
