How To Update Mobile Number in Aadhaar?

The mobile number update facility is part of Child Enrolment Lite Client (CELC) application developed by UIDAI. Under CELC services, citizens can add/update mobile number.

Nowadays, all types of Government subsidy are directly credited to the beneficiary account through Aadhaar linkage with the bank account. Some other applications like PAN-ITR, Mobile SIM, bank account, property registration, etc., are also done through Aadhaar/ Aadhaar based OTP verification.

Through Aadhaar the Government has been able to reach out to crores of people and facilitate delivery of Direct Benefit Transfer under various schemes such as LPG – PAHAL, MGNREGS etc. directly into their bank accounts. With linking of many other services such as PAN, getting ration under One Nation One Ration Card Scheme, issuance of Digital Life Certificate (Jeevan Pramaan), KYC for new mobile SIM connections, updating demographic details online, accessing RTO services for driving license, verifying income tax returns, and information on EPFO services, updating of mobile number in Aadhaar has become critical for all citizens from utility and security perspective.

Till now, people had to visit designated bank branches or post offices for updating or linking phone number with Aadhaar. This has become easier now with India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) rolling out this facility through it’s the extensive network of 650 IPPB branches supporting 1,36,000+ Post Offices (Access Points) & more than 2,00,000 Postmen and Gramin Dak Sevaks equipped with smartphones and biometric devices, in phases*, to provide this service at one’s doorstep.

For people living in rural and far-flung areas with little or no access to banking and financial services, the mobile update service is another significant customer-centric initiative from Department of Posts and IPPB. By providing this service at citizens’ doorstep, the postman and GDS will be able to update mobile number of people who may not have access to an Aadhaar enrolment center in their vicinity.

Service Charge: Rs. 50 including applicable taxes. T&C Apply. (* Currently available at selected Post Offices only)

How To Do Child Enrolment?

As per UIDAI’s Child Enrolment policy – in case of children below 5 years of age – the biometric attributes, viz. fingerprint and iris images are not captured, thereby making child enrolment process fairly simple in comparison to that of those above 5 years of age.

Keeping this in view a different system of enrolling children below 5 years was conceived which would make enrolment of such children convenient and swift. In line with this, an android based lite enrolment client viz; Child Enrolment Lite Client (CELC), has been developed by UIDAI to enable swift enrolment of children below 5 years. The client will be used to enrol the children by capturing just the photograph and few demographic details in addition to biometric authentication of parents and the operator. Only Proof of Relationship (PoR) document is required to enrol the child.
