How to Change Aadhaar Linked Mobile Number

In today’s digital age, your Aadhaar card is one of the most crucial identity documents. It’s linked to various services, including banking, government schemes, and employment records. However, what happens if you change your mobile number? Updating your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is essential to ensure uninterrupted access to these services.
In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of changing your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and how an employee can update it from their end.

Why is Updating Your Aadhaar-Linked Mobile Number Important?

Your mobile number is tied to your Aadhaar for OTP-based authentication. If you don’t update it, you may face difficulties in accessing services like:

• EPF (Employee Provident Fund) updates
• Income tax filings
• Bank account verifications
• Government subsidy schemes

For employees, keeping your Aadhaar details updated is critical for seamless payroll processing and compliance with company policies.

According to UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India), the mobile number linked to the Aadhaar card cannot be changed online by yourself. For this, you need to visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra (Aadhaar Service Center).

Go to UIDAI's official website (https://uidai.gov.in), click on "Locate an Enrolment Center", and find an Aadhaar service center in your area.
