New Delhi: The process of re-verification of existing mobile subscribers using Aadhaar has now become simpler and more convenient.
Major telecom operators like Aitel, Vodafone and Idea are allowing re-verification of mobile number using One Time Password (OTP) based authentication for existing users.
These operators have put in place an OTP based re-verification where subscribers can link their Aadhaar using IVRS on their mobile phone.
Here's how you can link Aadhaar to your mobile number using IVR
- Give a call to 14546 from your registered mobile number
- A computerised voice will ask you if you are Indian or an NRI
- Choose your option
- The IVR process will then ask for your consent to link Aadhaar card number with your mobile number
- Press the desired option given to you
- Now you will have to furnish your 12-digit Aadhaar number and press the desired number to confirm.
- As soon as you confirm, you will get an OTP on your registered mobile phone.
- Next, the IVR process will ask for your mobile number.
- At this step you will have to give consent to your mobile operator to pick your name, photo, and date of birth from UIDAI records
- After you have agreed to the above step, IVR will read the last four digits of your mobile number to re-confirm your Aadhaar card number
- Once, the re-confirmation matches with your details, you will have to provide the OTP received via SMS
- After entering the OTP, you will have to press 1 to complete the process.
- IVR will then prompt that the Aadhaar-based mobile number re-verification process has been successful.
