No More Than 5 SIMs against One NID

The parliamentary committee has recommended not to provide more than five SIMs against one National Identity Card (NID).

The recommendation was made at a meeting of the parliamentary committee on government institutions held at the parliament building on Tuesday.

After the meeting, the chairman of the parliamentary committee ASM Firoz informed the media.

He said the BTRC (Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission) has informed that they are currently offering 15 SIM registration opportunities against one NID. With more and more SIMs, there is an opportunity to abuse it. For this, we have instructed to reduce this number to 5.
