Unregistered devices
Using an unregistered device to access NDRC networks is a criminal offence. Unregistered devices detected on the network will be blocked automatically and the incident reported to Internal Security. Repeat offenders face device confiscation and CDI score penalties.

When disposing of a registered device, you must deregister it through this portal and submit it to a state-approved recycling centre. Selling or transferring devices without updating the registration is prohibited.
