As per the Government regulations, it is mandatory for all citizens to link their mobile number with Aadhaar card on or before 31st March 2018. Up until now, the verification could be done by visiting respective network provider’s official store.

But UIDAI has now rolled out another option with which you can do the verification process from home using Interactive Voice Response (IVR). The method came into effect from January 1st, 2018. It is a very simple process where users who still haven’t linked their Aadhaar with the mobile number (that’s still around 50 crores) can call IVR that would complete the process through a one-time password (OTP) on the number linked with your Adhaar card.

The IVR linking process supports English, Hindi, and several regional languages. The roadmap for e-verification was laid by the Govt of India back in December, and it is only now that it has come into effect since telecoms requested some time to make suitable changes once the TRAI approved it.
