UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has updated its online portal with new features that allow users to easily change or add their new mobile number to their Aadhaar card. With the introduction of this new feature, the lives of users have become simpler as they have both the options to link their mobile numbers to their Aadhaar card either online or offline.
These changes are necessary for the users as they allow citizens to avail the benefits and schemes offered by the Central government. As soon as this new feature got released on the portal, many users were seen updating or linking their mobile numbers with their Aadhaar card by using the Service Update Portal (SSUP), and others were seen paying a visit to enrollment centers regarding updating or linking mobile number.
Still, there are many users who are not aware of the procedures either online or offline. That is why we have prepared a procedure consisting of simple steps which fall under the category demographic data sets. Below are the steps to update or link mobile numbers to the Aadhaar card.
