What is IMEI and Why Should it Matter? IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a 15-digit number assigned to each mobile device. It enables tracking of lost or stolen phones and ensures every device in India has a unique identity. Devices without a valid IMEI are considered illegal for sale or use and can be blacklisted. Before generating the IMEI, manufacturers must obtain a TAC (Type Allocation Code), which forms the first eight digits of the IMEI. The TAC is assigned according to the device’s make and model under GSMA global guidelines. The IMEI Registration Process
