Aadhaar: UIDAI solves one of the biggest problem many users have with their Aadhaar number – Times of India
Why the need to verify
“It had come to the notice of the UIDAI that in some instances, residents were not aware/sure about which of their mobile numbers is seeded to their Aadhaar. Hence residents were worried that Aadhaar OTP might be going to some other mobile number. Now, with this facility, the residents can check these quite easily,” said UIDAI in a statement explaining the requirement of the new feature.
How to verify the email ID and mobile number linked to your Aadhaar
The facility can be availed under ‘Verify email/mobile Number’ feature on the official website (https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/) or through mAadhaar app. The feature has been developed for the residents to verify that their own email/mobile number is seeded with respective Aadhaar.
This facility gives confirmation to Aadhaar holders that email/mobile number under his/her knowledge is only seeded to respective Aadhaar. It also notifies the person in case a particular mobile number is not linked, and informs them to take necessary steps to update the mobile number, if they wish so.
What happens if the mobile number/email ID is verified
In case mobile number is already verified, residents will see a message like, ‘the mobile number you have entered is already verified with our records’, displayed on their screen. In case a resident does not remember the mobile number, she/he has given during enrolment she/he can check the last three digits of the mobile on Verify Aadhaar feature on Myaadhaar portal or mAadhaar app.
