The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is putting the finishing touches on a new plan to assign unique customer IDs to mobile users. The goal is to improve cybersecurity and streamline the distribution of government-backed financial benefits. As reported by Financial Express, the mobile customer ID system will make it easier to track SIM cards under one ID, documents using which users obtained their SIM cards, and smooth identification of the individuals who own these cards.
