If you have an Android phone from Jio, go to the Google Find Hub.

If you do not have an Android phone, skip to step 8.
Click the "Sign in" button to sign into your Google account.
Click the "Accept" button in the popup that appeared when the Find Hub page opened.
This will allow Google to access your device and information about it remotely.
The Find Hub will possibly allow you to get an approximate location of where your device is. If you simply misplaced it, this will allow you to easily find it. If it was stolen, do not go to try to recover it yourself. Instead, inform the police of the theft and device's approximate location.
Select your missing device from the list of your devices.
Go to the Settings menu.
Click on "Factory Reset" or "Erase."
The term will vary from device to device.
Confirm the reset.
If your phone is not currently online, the reset will automatically begin the next time it connects.
Skip to step 12.
Go to the iCloud Find Devices page.

Click on "Erase This Device."
If your iphone is not online, the erasure will automatically begin the next time it connects.
Go to the Jio Lost SIM Portal.
