Where to get a prepaid sim for India?

It is not possible to purchase an Indian SIM card outside of India due to the paperwork needed to be completed when purchasing the SIM.

When your parents go to India, tell them to visit a cellphone store (such as Vodafone IN or Airtel) but they need to take their passport with them.

The sales person will complete all the paperwork for them to allow them to activate the SIM card.

Alternatively, if you have any contacts in India, they could register a card in their name before arrival.
