\n NEW DELHI: The Telecom Department and Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI<\/a>) are in discussions to put in place a method for mobile number verification of NRIs and foreign tourists who are not eligible for Aadhaar.<\/p>\n \n\tA decision on evolving SIM verification method for these NRIs and foreign tourists is expected to be taken in 2-3 weeks, Telecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan told .<\/p>\n \n\t\"Those who have Aadhaar or are entitled to get Aadhaar will have to verify their SIMs with their Aadhaar,\" Sundararajan said.<\/p>\n The SIM card verification process through Aadhaar-based authentication<\/a> has been simplified this week with the government allowing OTP and other modes to complete the process of linking mobile numbers with the 12 digit biometric identifier.<\/p>\n \n\tTelecom operators have been asked to submit to UIDAI by November 15 a blueprint of the process to operationalise the new modes (including OTP) of SIM re-verification through Aadhaar.<\/p>\n \n\t\"The operators have been asked to draw up a process incorporating new guidelines and come back to UIDAI by November 15. Once the UIDAI gives them clearance, they will have to implement the new system within a period of two weeks,\" Sundararajan added.<\/p>\n \n\tThe government has initiated a series of measures to simplify Aadhaar-based re-verification of existing subscribers.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile the authentication of mobile phone number with Aadhaar, a process called re-verification, by visiting stores of telecom firms will continue, the government has also ordered the companies to carry out the exercise at the doorsteps of the disabled, chronically ill and senior citizens.<\/p>\n \n\tThe mobile numbers can also be linked with Aadhaar through OTP (one time password), app or IVRS facility.<\/p>\n \n\tTelecom operators have also been directed to deploy iris devices at \"appropriate number of service points\" so subscribers have access to iris authentication \"within a reasonable geographical distance\".<\/p>\n \"...there may be exceptions like foreign tourists etc who are visiting or NRI<\/a> who are not at all entitled to Aadhaar... for such people, the UIDAI and DoT<\/a> are examining what alternative mechanism, we can allow,\" she said.<\/p>\n One such way for NRIs and foreign tourists could be authentication through passport<\/a>, but no decision has been taken yet on the matter, she added.<\/p>\n The Telecom Secretary said Aadhaar-based process<\/a> for SIM verification was devised in the wake of complaints about mobile connections being issued without proper due diligence<\/a> by telecom operators (and later such SIMs being used by terrorists and fraudsters) and the Supreme Court's observations in February this year in a PIL by Lokniti Foundation.<\/p>\n\"So, it is in the subscribers own interest and for their security. Especially, in a world of galloping digital payments where everybody is using their mobile phones, one needs to make sure that no one else fraudulently takes a mobile phone in your name...\" she said.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":61245143,"title":"Roaming tariff cut between South Asian countries in the works","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/roaming-tariff-cut-between-south-asian-countries-in-the-works\/61245143","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":61251124,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"SIM verification method for NRIs, tourists likely in 2-3 weeks","synopsis":"A decision on evolving SIM verification method for these NRIs and foreign tourists is expected to be taken in 2-3 weeks, Telecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan told.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/sim-verification-method-for-nris-tourists-likely-in-2-3-weeks","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"PTI","artdate":"2017-10-26 22:40:40","lastupd":"2017-10-26 22:42:47","breadcrumbTags":["uidai","Due Diligence","passport","dot","Aadhaar-based process","Industry","Authentication","nri"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/sim-verification-method-for-nris-tourists-likely-in-2-3-weeks"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2017-10-26" data-index="article_1">
新德里:印度电信部门和权威唯一标识(UIDAI)是在讨论建立手机号码验证方法的背景和外国游客Aadhaar资格。 决定发展SIM验证方法对这些背景和外国游客预计将在2 - 3周,电信部长阿鲁娜Sundararajan告知。 “那些Aadhaar或有权得到Aadhaar Aadhaar必须验证他们的西姆斯,“Sundararajan说。 通过Aadhaar-based SIM卡验证过程身份验证本周进行了简化与政府允许OTP和其他方式完成的过程连接移动数字和12位生物标识符。 电信运营商所要求提交UIDAI 11月15日的蓝图operationalise过程的新模式(包括OTP)通过Aadhaar SIM重新核定。 “运营商一直要求制定一个流程结合新准则和回到UIDAI 11月15日。一旦UIDAI给他们,他们将不得不实现新系统在一段时间的两个星期,”Sundararajan补充道。 政府已经发起了一系列的措施来简化Aadhaar-based核实现有的用户。 Aadhaar的身份验证手机号码,这一过程被称为重新核定,电信公司将继续通过访问商店,政府还下令公司开展残疾人运动的台阶,慢性病患者和老年人。 手机号码也可以与Aadhaar通过OTP(一次密码),应用程序或广度、设施。 电信运营商也被直接部署虹膜设备“适当数量的服务点”,这样用户可以访问虹膜认证“在合理的地理距离”。 “…可能会有异常访问或外国游客等个新名词不是所有有权Aadhaar……对于这样的人,UIDAI和点正在研究什么样的替代机制,我们可以允许,”她说。 这样的一个背景和外国游客可以验证通过护照,但尚未做出任何决定,她补充道。 电信部长说Aadhaar-based过程SIM验证设计的抱怨手机连接后没有适当的发行尽职调查由电信运营商(以及后来的西姆斯被恐怖分子和骗子)和最高法院的观察今年2月在一个由Lokniti基金会公益诉讼。
