Mobile recharges at local
shops often require sharing your phone number with the shopkeeper.
Unfortunately, this exposes your number to others nearby, leading to unwanted
calls and messages. To address this growing concern, BSNL has launched a new
privacy‑centric feature called BSNL Kavach.
What is BSNL Kavach?
BSNL Kavach provides a temporary
10‑digit virtual number linked to your actual BSNL mobile number. Instead
of revealing your real number during recharges or while sharing contact details
with strangers, you can use this virtual number.
- Recharge amounts are credited
directly to your actual account.
- The other party never sees your real
mobile number.
- Acts as a privacy shield
between you and the shopkeeper or service provider.

feature could be a game‑changer in preventing unwanted calls and messages.
