A lot of cell phones are being used in the country without an IMEI number. Connectivity to such cellphones was intended to be blocked by telecom operators, as instructed by the telecom authorities. DoT has now tightened their reins by its decision of lieving a fine on a fortnightly basis on operators failing to do their duty by getting a proper phone with an IMEI number.
Telcos were trying to evade this by providing a software which could generate the IMEI number for them. However, this has been strictly termed null thereby not allowing it. Now the new deadline, before which the operators are supposed to do the needful, has been set as 15th of April.
