As of now, there is no way before the users of used mobile or second hand mobile phones to find out whether they are stolen one or one with fake Identification number.
The only way out is to not use strange phones and invite trouble.
And now the Indian government has come up with a new rule to curb the misuse of stolen or lost mobile phones.
The main aim of the government is root out the chances for using mobile phone for terror activities.
From January 1, 2023 onwards, all mobile phone manufacturers are required to register the International Mobile Equipment Identity or IMEI number of every handset manufactured in India with the Indian Counterfeited Device Restriction portal before the first sale of a newly launched mobile phone.
