Now SIM card verification has to be done every 6 months.
The Department of Telecommunications has tightened the rules of consumer verification for wholesale buyers and companies to prevent fraud in SIM card verification. According to the new rules, the telecom company has to check the registration of the company before giving a new connection and the company has to undergo verification within 6 months.
The decision has been taken due to the rise in SIM card fraud in the name of companies. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs will have to check the registration of the company. Earlier, the Department of Telecommunications had decided to relax the rules on verification penalties for telecom customers. Telecom companies will not face a penalty of Rs 1 lakh for every small mistake.

This was before the rule was changed for telecom companies
The Department of Telecommunications has simplified the rules of consumer verification. The department has relaxed the penalty rules. Now only in some cases a penalty of Rs 1 lakh will be imposed. Earlier, the company had to pay a penalty of Rs 1,000 to Rs 50,000 for each error in the customer application form.
