Why is mobile number update important
Having the correct mobile number linked to the Aadhaar card is extremely important for many reasons. Many online services and government schemes send OTP to your registered mobile number for Aadhaar-based verification. If the number is not updated, you will not be able to avail yourself of these services. Downloading Aadhaar online, getting e-Aadhaar, or other Aadhaar-related services also require a registered mobile number. Your mobile number is an important key to accessing your Aadhaar information. Linking the correct number keeps your information safe. To update any other information (like address, name) in Aadhaar in the future, an OTP is also sent to the registered mobile number.
