What Is the TAFCOP Portal?

The TAFCOP Portal (Telecom Analytics for Fraud Management and Consumer Protection) is an official government website created by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). Launched under the Sanchar Saathi initiative, it helps mobile subscribers verify how many SIM cards are registered using their Aadhaar card. Many people are unaware that multiple SIMs can be linked to their Aadhaar without their knowledge — TAFCOP lets you find out and act.

Why Aadhaar Is Linked to SIM Cards

As per government regulations, every mobile number must be linked with Aadhaar through eKYC. While this improves verification and security, it can be misused. Sometimes shopkeepers, telecom agents, or fraudsters use one person’s Aadhaar to activate multiple SIMs. TAFCOP allows you to check your SIM status and report any unknown mobile numbers linked to your Aadhaar card.

How to Use TAFOP Portal Aadhaar Card with Your Aadhaar-Linked Number

1. Visit tafcop.dgtelecom.gov.in
2. Enter your mobile number linked to Aadhaar
3. Verify with the OTP sent to your number
4. View all active SIM cards issued in your name
5. Report any number you do not recognize

What Happens After You Report a Number?

After you report a suspicious SIM card, the telecom operator (Jio, Airtel, Vi, or BSNL) will verify the case. If the SIM is unauthorized, they will block or deactivate it. While you don’t directly block the number, your report triggers the action.
