The Indian telecom market with subscriber base of over a billion is second-largest in the world only after China. The Telecom department has provided 3 ways to link the registered mobile number with the AADHAAR Card. They are IVRS method, app based method and OTP based method. Since the time Government has made linking of the registered mobile number with Aadhaar card compulsory, the Telecom Department has devised user friendly ways to link the same where you need not go to the store of the service provider to do the same. It is now easier for the subscribers to verify their mobile number and link them with their 12 digit UID of Aadhaar card from anywhere in the country.

The telecom operators are also directed to offer this verification service at the subscribers’ doorsteps for special cases like senior citizens and special cases with disability, illness or any other mobility issues. Further the operators are supposed to robust their online mechanism to service such a request. This can be done through the operator’s customer webpage.



Below is the step wise process to link Aadhaar to mobile number using a one-time password (OTP) :-

  • Message the Aadhaar UID number from your registered mobile number to the number provided by your operator
  • The service providers will then do a demographic verification of the number.
  • Post the verification, the operator will request the UIDAI for the OTP
  • OTP will be sent to the mobile number by the UIDAI
  • The user will feed this OTP to verify the Aadhaar ID on the operator page to complete the e-KYC process.

This e-KYC based on Aadhaar registration is essential for all the new SIMs. Government has requested all the operators to verify all the old prepaid and postpaid customers for the reverification of e-KYC through 12 digit Aadhaar Card UID number. The whole activity is scheduled to get completed by early 2018. Also, read – How to Link Aadhaar to PAN

  15. I am residing in Andhra Pradesh. I have an Airtel SIM since 2005 of Mumbai Circle in the state of Maharashtra where I was previously residing. Airtel is refusing to link this SIM to my Aadhar Number since my Aadhar Card bears my Andhra Pradesh address. It has however linked my 2 SIM Cards issued in Andhra Pradesh Circle. As an individual can possess only one Aadhar Card what is the process to link my Mumbai Circle SIM with my Aadhar Card bearing Andhra Pradesh address? The refusal on the part of Airtel is highly illogical since both Aadhar numbers as well as SIM Card / Mobile numbers are unique inasmuch as no two individual can have the same Aadhar number & also no two individuals can have the same mobile number irrespective of the mobile service providers across the entire country. The service providers are merely harassing its subscribers. Can this mattervbe taken up at the appropriate level with the concerned Department of the Govt. of India, please?
