Can I Check Porting Status Online?

According to the TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) guidelines, the process of porting takes about 7-10 working days to be completed once you have submitted your application of MNP.

Technically, there is NO SPECIFIC PLATFORM that can give the exact MNP status. So one should not rely on the unsecured websites as the information shown there about your MNP status is generally incorrect.
