At last Government and Telecom Operator has listened to the feedback and queries coming from mobile subscribers, for everyone it was not possible to visit telecom store or retailer store to get their Aadhaar linked with Mobile. For some subscribers giving their fingerprints that is biometrics for verification was problem, mostly senior citizens were unable to link their Aadhaar with their mobile number as fingerprint scanners would not have been able to verify their fingerprints.
So Now no need to worry about anything as now you can link your Aadhaar Number with your Mobile Number without visiting any store or retailer at the comfort of your home. From 1st December 2017 any telecom operator subscriber will be able to verify or link their Aadhaar Number to mobile number through OTP received on mobile number registered with Aadhaar Card.
The only catch here is, you should have your mobile number linked with Aadhaar Card. If you don’t have active mobile number linked with Aadhaar Card than get it updated by visiting nearest Aadhaar Enrolment Center.
Those who have already linked their Aadhaar Number with their Mobile Number will not have to link Aadhaar with Mobile Number again through OTP as they have already got it done by visiting the store by giving their fingerprints, also those who have recently purchased new connection by providing UID Number and by completing fingerprint verification.
