    • Hello Seetha,

      As of now there is no such app launched which allows you to link your Aadhaar Number with your Mobile Phone. But as you said that you would be returning to India in April, you could get your Aadhaar linked with your mobile that time (the deadline of linking Aadhaar would be further pushed).

  3. I have my adhaar linked to my mobile however I do not have a mobile number linked to my adhaar card.

    • Hello Manazir,

      If your existing linked mobile with Aadhaar is deactivated or your no longer hold it then you need to get your mobile number updated by visiting Aadhaar Center personally. So for this you need to personally visit the center, you can also do it when you next time visit India.
