TLDR
India's SIM-binding requirement for messaging apps including WhatsApp and Telegram is reportedly due to start Jan. 1, 2027, after a Dec. 31, 2026, implementation deadline, Inc42 and India Today report. Accounts are meant to stay linked to the registered number's active SIM. Phones without that SIM could face restrictions, but India Today says the effect will depend on each app's implementation.
