i had to submit it 6-7 times when i applied for one.. They asked the same thing again and again... as i applied for it in Mumbai and i was not from Mumbai.. they kept on telling that it was because the rules had become strict after the blasts.. The last time they asked for it , i told them to cancel it(i didn't in the beginning as i was new here and wanted a sim badly, as they used to activate it wen i give the documents but then deactivate a day after then ask for documents again)..and then they activated it again which was not deactivated later on... it was BS to get ma sim activated...
