Launch of a New Aadhaar-Linked Mobile Number Verification Feature by UIDAI

Now that this feature is available, customers may immediately find out which mobile number or email address is linked to their Aadhaar

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Tuesday announced a new feature on its website and mobile application that makes it easier for users to authenticate the mobile phone number and email address connected to their Aadhaar card. Customers in several cases were not aware that their Aadhaar was connected to a phone number

According to a statement from UIDAI, people used to be concerned that they wouldn’t be aware if their Aadhar OTP went to a different mobile number. Customers may now immediately ascertain which mobile number or email address is associated with their Aadhar thanks to this feature. The m-Aadhar app or the official website are the only ways to access this functionality. You can confirm your mobile number or email address by visiting the m-Aadhaar app.

Verification will ensure that you are using your own phone number and not someone else’s when you deliver the OTP.

If a person’s Aadhaar doesn’t have a mobile number associated with it, this function also alerts them. “If the mobile number is already verified, then people will see a message on the screen,” the statement reads. The notification stating the entered number is already registered in the UIDAI records will be shown.

In case customers can’t remember the number they provided while applying for their Aadhar number, the new functionality enables users to enter the last three digits of their cellphone number on the “My Aadhar” portal or m-Aadhaar App. According to UIDAI, one needs visit the nearest Aadhaar centre in order to link the email and cellphone number to Aadhaar.
