Yes, children can legally own their own phones in India. There is no specific law that prohibits minors from having personal mobile devices. However, the decision largely depends on the parents or guardians. The Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000, and associated guidelines provide a framework for online safety, but they do not restrict phone ownership based on age.

There is no specific age limit for children to use phone in India but as per IT Act, it is recommended that children below 18 years should use phone under guidance of parents, especially while using internet. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
