Major telecom operators like Aitel, Vodafone and Idea are allowing re-verification of mobile number using One Time Password (OTP) based authentication for existing users.


These operators have put in place an OTP based re-verification where subscribers can link their Aadhaar using IVRS on their mobile phone.


Here's how you can link Aadhaar to your mobile number using IVR
    
- Give a call to 14546 from your registered mobile number


- A computerised  voice will ask you if you are Indian or an NRI


- Choose your option
    
- The IVR process will then ask for your consent to link Aadhaar card number with your mobile number


- Press the desired option given to you


- Now you will have to furnish your 12-digit Aadhaar number and press the desired number to confirm.


- As soon as you confirm, you will get an OTP  on your registered mobile phone.


- Next, the IVR process will ask for your mobile number.


- At this step you will have to give consent to your mobile operator to pick your name, photo, and date of birth from UIDAI records
    
- After you have agreed to the above step, IVR will read the last four digits of your mobile number to re-confirm your Aadhaar card number


- Once, the re-confirmation matches with your details, you will have to  provide the OTP received via SMS


- After entering the OTP, you will  have to press 1 to complete the process.


- IVR will then prompt that the Aadhaar-based mobile number re-verification process has been successful.
