Mobile Number-Driving License Linking-The Ministry of Road Transport has asked all driving license holders and vehicle owners to link their mobile numbers. The ministry stated that people can link their mobile numbers through the Aadhaar authentication process. Linking a mobile number will be required to avail any transport and driving license-related services.
The ministry stated that people can update or add new information by visiting the Vahan and Sarathi portals. They must provide complete, accurate, and up-to-date information. An online facility for updating mobile numbers has been provided on the portal. State transport departments are also sending messages to driving license holders and vehicle owners urging them to update their information.
Linking mobile number may become mandatory in future
According to media reports, both the central and state transport departments have taken this step to curb vehicle owners and drivers who frequently change their mobile numbers and addresses to avoid paying fines. Sources also suggest the government may introduce a new rule making it mandatory to update Aadhaar-linked addresses.
