Aadhaar mobile number update at home: We all know that updating the mobile number in Aadhaar card is no less than winning a battle. Finding the Aadhaar Seva Kendra, going there and then standing in a long queue – just thinking about all this makes one sweat. But now UIDAI has given such good news to crores of Indians, which is going to solve this problem of yours forever. UIDAI has announced that soon you will be able to update your mobile number in Aadhaar card sitting at home. Yes, you will not need to go anywhere. What is the problem now? At present, if your mobile number has changed or is switched off, then you have to go to ‘Aadhaar Seva Kendra’ to get it updated in Aadhaar. There fingerprint and eye scanning (biometric) takes place, only then the number is updated. Many times it becomes very difficult for elderly and employed people to find time for this. How will the new system work? (Magic of Face Authentication) UIDAI is now making the technology easier. According to reports, the upcoming new facility will be completely online. In this you will not need any biometric machine, rather your smartphone will do everything. This process will be done through myAadhaar app or portal. Face Authentication will be used in this. That is, you will scan your face with your phone’s camera and your identity will be confirmed. This will be just like you do video KYC many times. Why is it important to have a mobile number in Aadhaar? If you do not have the correct mobile number in your Aadhaar, then many of your tasks may get stuck. OTP: The OTP that comes for government services or bank work, comes on this number. ITR and Bank: In filing income tax return or opening a new bank account. It is easy. Government benefits: To avail subsidy or pension, it is necessary to link the number. How much will it cost? UIDAI has also clarified the situation regarding fees. If you get your biometric updated and also change your mobile number or address, it is free. But, if you update only the mobile number or any one information (like name, address, gender) separately, then you may have to pay a fee of Rs 75. UIDAI has recently simplified the list of required documents (Proof of Identity/Address), so that people do not get confused. However, the date from which this facility will start has not been officially confirmed yet, but this announcement of UIDAI has given an opportunity to the general public. It has definitely given great hope. So just wait a little longer, Aadhaar update is now going to be a game of fingers!
