With the approval of important reforms in telecom procedures by the Union Cabinet, many adjustments have been implemented for the comfort of mobile phone customers.
The government has finally decided to make the Know Your Customer process more straightforward. Thousands of mobile phone users will be able to get new SIM cards or move from prepaid to postpaid or vice versa online, which is great news.
The government has chosen to streamline the Know Your Customer (KYC) process for users, according to Union Minister of Communications Ashwini Vaishnaw, who said that the entire process will now be contactless, paperless, and secure. The Aadhar-based KYC procedure will now be computerised, safe, and consumer-centric. The e-KYC rate has also been reduced to only one rupee by the UIDAI.

You will no longer need to visit a retail store to purchase a new SIM card. You can now apply for a Self-KYC and a new SIM card online, and the SIM will be delivered to your home using documents that have been electronically authenticated by UIDAI and DigiLocker.
It may be remembered that the Centre launched Digilocker in 2015. Digilocker is a software programme that allows you to digitally issue and validate papers and certificates. Users can keep papers such as their driver’s licence, PAN card, voter ID, and policy documents in DigiLocker.
You can also acquire an OTP conversion if you’re switching from prepaid to postpaid. “All KYC will be digitised, and no paper forms will be necessary. There will be no more repeat KYCs while switching from prepaid to postpaid or vice versa. A calendar for auctions will be formed, and Customs notifications from 1953 will be updated “Vaishnav had announced this a few days ago while unveiling the new telecom reforms.
According to the Union Minister, the government rationalised the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) definition by eliminating telecoms’ non-telecom revenue from the payment of statutory taxes
The decision has been made to digitise the procedures in the telecom sector, eliminating the need for paper. The decision was made in light of the COVID-19 difficulties in the telecom sector, which have increased data consumption while restricting physical mobility on the one hand.
