Central Equipment Identity Register

The first is the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR), a centralized system that allows for the blocking of stolen or lost mobile devices. By leveraging CEIR, users can report their stolen or lost phones, subsequently rendering them inoperable within the Indian telecom network.

Know your mobile connections

The second, “Know your mobile connections,” empowers users to identify the mobile connections registered under their names. This feature provides users with transparency and control over their registered connections, enhancing their ability to identify any unauthorized or unnecessary connections.

Artificial Intelligence and Facial Recognition-powered Solution

The third system is the implementation of the Artificial Intelligence and Facial Recognition-powered Solution for Telecom SIM Subscriber Verification (ASTR). This advanced solution is designed to detect and prevent fraudulent subscribers, effectively reducing instances of identity theft, forged KYC, and other mobile phone-related frauds.

Speaking at the launch, Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted the significance of the Sanchar Saathi portal in curbing frauds facilitated through mobile devices. He emphasized that the misuse of mobile phones can lead to various fraudulent activities, including identity theft and banking frauds. The portal’s development is a proactive measure to prevent such incidents, ensuring user safety and bolstering the forthcoming Telecom bill.
