      Hello Goutam Mallick,

      If your fingerprints doesn’t pass the percentage than maximum 3 times your fingerprints will be captured and the software will automatically pick up best among three.

        Hello Hemlata,

        It is very bad to hear that you are unable to update your fingerprints. If you want to re-verify your mobile number than you can do it just by calling toll free number 14546.
