Note that the client is required to have portable number connected to his/her Aadhaar card to utilize this administration as the OTP goes ahead it. In the event that the client does not have the versatile number connected to Aadhaar then he/she should visit the neighborhood Aadhaar focus adjacent..

While this Virtual ID will be mapped to the Aadhaar number, it will be veiled by UIDAI and outsiders won't become more acquainted with the correct Aadhaar number and different points of interest.

What is constrained KYC?

With this, exclusive applicable information will be given to an outsider office (read telecom administrators) and different points of interest including Aadhaar number won't be given. "For all eKYC asks for by telecom specialist organizations (TSP), UIDAI as a major aspect of constrained KYC reaction will share statistic information that is name, sex, date of birth and address alongside confront photograph and UID token. Aadhaar number won't be imparted to the TSP by UIDAI as a component of restricted KYC reaction," DoT said in its round.
