As per existing guidelines, individual mobile subscribers can register up to nine mobile connections in their name,” reads the ‘About’ section of the TAFCOP portal.
The portal further reads, “This website has been developed to help subscribers, check the number of mobile connections working in their name, and take necessary action for regularising their additional mobile connections if any.
