TL;DR
Official Airtel, Jio and Vi stores in Margao may refuse SIM registrations for foreign travelers. One traveler reported getting a SIM activated quickly at New Market, but unlimited-data availability was not confirmed.
The most practical option reported was to look for SIM vendors at New Market in Margao, where a SIM was registered and set up within minutes.
Do not rely only on official Airtel, Jio or Vi outlets in Margao: a traveler reported passport-registration refusals, including issues attributed to visa checks or the registration system.
Before buying at New Market, ask which operator and data package will be activated. Unlimited data was asked about in the discussion, but no verified plan or operator name was provided.
