Originally scheduled for April 15, 2024, the third phase has now been rescheduled to commence on July 31, 2024. During the initial deadline on February 28, 2024, the industry regulator said about 40 million lines not linked to NINs were barred. A The source mentioned that while the exact number of lines affected by Friday’s deadline remains unclear, telecom companies are expected to proceed with disconnecting lines not linked with NINs.
