Aadhaar card has become one of the most important documents provided by the government that can be used as proof of identity and proof of address. Linking mobile number with Aadhaar enables one to receive all updates related to Aadhaar on their mobile through SMS. A registered mobile number is also required when using the mAadhaar app. You can register mobile number in Aadhaar at the time of Aadhaar enrolment. If you have missed providing your mobile number at the time of enrolment, you can get it registered by visiting the Aadhaar centre later.
The government has made it mandatory to link Aadhaar with a number of documents and financial instruments. Once Aadhaar is linked with these instruments, the government starts transferring subsidies under various schemes such as DBT, Pahal, etc. directly in the bank account of the beneficiary and a confirmation message is sent to the registered mobile number.
In case your mobile number is not registered with Aadhaar, you will not receive any messages and won’t be able to track the government benefits that you are eligible to receive. Once Aadhaar is linked with these instruments, the government starts transferring subsidies under various schemes such as DBT, Pahal, etc. directly to the bank account of the beneficiary and a confirmation message is sent to the registered mobile number.
