Here is how to link Aadhaar with mobile using OTP

From December 1 onwards you do not need to visit a store to link your Aadhaar with mobile. You can do it by using the OTP which you will get on your phone.

"No need to give finger prints to local SIM card retailer for your mobile phone verification. From December 1, 2017, you can do it from comfort of your home through OTP received on mobile number registered with Aadhaar," said the UIDAI.

The Department of Telecom has introduced three new methods to link the registered mobile number with Aadhaar - OTP based, app-based and IVRS facility. Subscribers can verify or re-verify their mobile numbers from anywhere in the country irrespective of which service area their mobile connection belongs to.

Here is the steps to link Aadhaar with mobile using OTP

• You need to message Aadhaar number from their registered mobile numbers at a number provided by their service providers.
• The service providers will then do a demographic verification of the number.
• After the verification process, the service provider will send OTP request to UIDAI.
• UIDAI will send the OTP on the mobile number.
• The user will send this OTP to the registered mobile number. The e-KYC verification process gets complete with this.
