Preventing CID Compliance and Legal Issues in Sri Lankan Repair Shops

How a stolen phone handled by your technicians can trigger police raids—and how automatic NIC/IMEI verification safeguards your shop.


The Reality of Sri Lankan Mobile Retail Law

Sri Lankan police and CID departments regularly investigate stolen mobile property. If a technician unknowingly replaces a screen or charges a battery on a stolen phone without checking credentials, your shop can be legally implicated as a receiver of stolen goods.

The Safeguard: Automatic NIC-to-IMEI Verification

iShopMaster protects your business by enforcing **mandatory National Identity Card (NIC)** and **IMEI number tracking** during the intake workflow:

  • **Digitized KYC**: Captures customer NIC photos instantly during repair registration.
  • **IMEI Locking**: Prevents editing or deleting the device IMEI once saved in the active inspection log.
  • **Police-Ready Reports**: Generates instant, tamper-proof compliance logs to present to authorities in seconds.
