Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has allowed residents to verify their mobile numbers and email IDs seeded with their Aadhaar. It’s important to note that you can only verify the email ID or mobile number that is linked to your Aadhaar. If you haven’t linked your email ID or mobile number with Aadhaar, you need to do so first before attempting to verify them.
“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,” Ministry of Electronics & IT said in a PIB statement.
