TL;DR
It's easiest to register your Indian SIM card (e.g. purchased via the Cheq service) with a company representative present — they can come to your hotel or a cafe to help complete the paperwork correctly.
What the community said
If you register a SIM tied to a foreign card, it's better to do it with a Cheq representative — they know the registration process and will come to tourist areas, like your hotel or a cafe.

A Cheq representative can come to you personally to handle SIM registration — this is a separate service on top of the account activation fee.

Not everyone uses the on-site rep option — you can register the SIM yourself and pay in cash if you don't have a foreign card for online payment.
