Dear experts, tell me, please, how can a Russotourist buy a SIM card in India now? I was not able to do this in August. Officially, as they announced to me, they banned the sale of Sims without registration in connection with the highest level of terrorist activity. How can you circumvent this limitation? Roaming in this country is frenzied.

The local SIM card can be bought till now. This will require: 1 photo, a copy of the passport, as well as a completed application form (map). After 2 days, the SIM card is activated in the office of the mobile operator.
Another option is to get a local sim card: ask someone from the local residents to issue it for their ID.
In addition, an easy way to save on cellular communication is to the purchase of a tourist SIM card, which gives far cheaper tariffs to our operators. Also in Delhi and in some Indian states, the MTS operator opened its offices
