The Indian government has made it mandatory for mobile manufacturers to register the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number of every handset made in the country. The same will be applicable to importers too before they import a phone, said a gazette notification from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). IMEI is a unique 15-digit number that identifies each mobile phone.
