What is BSNL's new 'Suraksha Kavach'? It will keep these details secret during mobile recharges..

BSNL has launched the 'BSNL Kavach' feature for its users; this feature has been designed specifically with women in mind. Its primary objective is to keep mobile numbers private. With the help of this 'Kavach' (shield), users can recharge their phones when needed—without revealing their actual number—and can share a temporary virtual number with others. All in all, the introduction of this new feature will help in safeguarding personal information.

The concept is simple, yet brilliant. Many people—particularly women—still get their phones recharged through local shops or third-party services today. Typically, this requires you to provide your actual phone number; however, Kavach steps in here as a sort of digital shield, ensuring that your identity remains anonymous.

**What is BSNL Kavach?**
It is a service that provides a temporary, 10-digit mobile number linked to your primary BSNL number. You can use this Kavach number whenever you need to recharge your phone, wish to avoid disclosing your actual number to someone, or are dealing with a shopkeeper you do not know.

Essentially, it erects a wall of privacy between you and the person on the other end. This is particularly relevant for women, many of whom still rely on local shops or third-party services to recharge their phones—situations where sharing one's actual number is otherwise unavoidable.

**How ​​does BSNL Kavach work?**
Once activated, the virtual Kavach number becomes linked to your actual BSNL account. When recharging, you provide the Kavach number, and any top-up amount is credited directly to your regular account. Your actual number remains hidden. This feature is especially useful for individuals who utilize offline stores for recharges and are concerned about their privacy.

**How ​​to obtain a BSNL Kavach Number?**
**Via the BSNL SelfCare App:** Download the app, log in, enter your location details, and request a Kavach number. The number will be displayed directly within the app.
You can also apply online through BSNL's official website. By calling Customer Care: Call the support team, provide the necessary information for verification, and once the verification is complete, you will receive your virtual number via SMS.
