A lost electronic device with an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number, such as a smartphone, can now be quickly reported to a local police station using a new website that the Indian government's Department of Telecommunications has launched called Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR). Users of the CEIR website can use the website to block a stolen or lost mobile, unblock a found mobile, and even find out more information about a used smartphone.

Similar to this, you must also file a complaint at your local police station because blocking the phone requires a digital copy of the police complaint as well as the owner's information. When a smartphone is blocked on the CEIR website, it becomes blocklisted on the main database and is unable to access it.
