        No you cannot. I tried to link it my delhi/ncr based number at Kolkatta but the retailer was unable to do the same.
        So, once I was back at Delhi, tried again at a Delhi/NCR based retailer. Now the error is- Outstation number, linking not mandatory”.

        I am unable to link.

    I just linked my aadhaar number to my sim. But one thing I don’t understand is that they charge me 100 rupees. What will they do with that 100 rupees. I don’t get any message and receipt for that 100 rupees I gave. Can you explain to me?

      Hello Fima,

      Linking Aadhaar Number with SIM is Free of Cost. But there are few stores which are fraudulently charging money for linking Aadhar to mobile, so you should be aware and should ask receipt when you pay the amount and complain on Airtel twitter profile.

    1. How to verify whether the Retailer could really link my aadhaar number with my sim?
    2. Some of the Retailers are charging ten Rupees for linking aadhaar number with the sim, whereas airtel had sent me a message which said that it is free. Why Airtel is not publicly announcing that it is free so that all Airtel SIM holders know this and can show this to the Retailers?

      Hello Asim,

      Once your Aadhaar Number is linked with your Airtel SIM, you will get confirmation SMS saying you have successfully linked your Aadhaar with Airtel Money Number and you have completed KYC re-verification.

      Let me inform you that this process to link Aadhaar Number to Airtel Mobile is free of cost service, You can directly call Airtel Customer Care Number and hand over to retailer to talk to them and if still that doesn’t helps than get them connected with Airtel Nodal Officer.

      You would be able to link your Aadhaar with your Airtel SIM without visiting India via App or IVRS method. Both these methods would be enabled from 1st December 2017, for more details keep checking How to Re-verify Airtel Mobile with Aadhaar eKYC through App IVRS or OTP.

    My husband and I are in Canada and we are going to be here till end of next year for work. It will be impossible to travel all the way to India only to link Aadhar card to SIM! I am hoping there is a solution for people who are in the same situation as us. Its extremely inconvenient and expensive to make a trip back to India for both of us only for linking aadhar card to phone number. With the whole country talking so much about Digital India, I am only hoping a digital solution will be invented for the same to save people the trouble.
