Are you sure that the contact information registered with Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for your Aadhaar Card is correct? If not, we would advise you to head to the UIDAI website and check it out for yourself. Aadhaar card is increasingly becoming the most important proof of identification and considering that the government has made it mandatory to link your Aadhaar cards with PAN card for filing income tax returns, its importance has grown further. UIDAI has now provided an online tool for you to verify that the contact information provided in Aadhaar card is correct.
In order to verify whether your contact number is correct on the Aadhaar card, you need to head to the home page of the UIDAI website and choose the option Verify Email/Mobile Number under Aadhaar Services tab. In the new tab, you need to enter details like your Aadhaar number, email address, mobile number that you need to verify, and a security code. Notably, the UIDAI security code is case sensitive and users should keep in mind that letters in upper and lower case will be treated as different entities by the system.
How to verify email address on UIDAI website
In order to verify the email address, users need to enter the Aadhaar number, email address, and a security code on the UIDAI platform. Then they will receive the OTP on their email address, which is then required to be entered on the right side of the page in the space provided. In case of entries that are valid and match, the system responds by saying "Congratulations! The Email ID matches with our records!"
Users need to enter their mobile number instead of email address in order to receive the OTP on the mobile number and verify it from the website. Rest of the procedure is same as the verification of the email address. In case of entries that are valid and match, the system responds by saying "Congratulations! The Mobile Number matches with our records!"
