How to get a duplicate SIM Card for BSNL Mobile Connection?

[dextermorgan]

Update: Went to telephone exchange. Internet was slow(the irony) but once they saw my details, they gave me form to fill up. Took that form, address proof and passport photo & 20rs and gave me new sim. Told me it'll be activated in 2 hrs and my balance in old sim will be carried forward. Got out in 20 mins. Good stuff.

@dextermorgan Did you had to visit the telephone exchange of the same city from where sim was issued? Once my cousin needed to replace sim in Varanasi which was issued from Allahabad and the exchange guys asked him to visit Allahabad, reason given was that records of that sim were not available at that exchage.

I also got my father's lost BSNL SIM without any hassles for just ₹20.
