Previously it was been said that as per the Government directive it is mandatory to link Aadhaar with Mobile Number. All existing mobile subscribers were requested to do Aadhaar Re-Verification before the assigned due date. In case if any of the subscriber number was found unverified with Aadhaar, then such connection was expected to get restricted.
Later on the due date was extended several times. All the mobile operators in India were also sending SMS to its subscribers to complete the Aadhaar linking process to enjoy uninterrupted services.
The process of linking Aadhaar with Mobile Number was very simple, but some subscribers didn’t wanted to do it or some didn’t even owned the Aadhaar Number.
Below is the SMS Sample Sent by a mobile operator to subscribers during those days:
Dear Customer,
As per DoT instructions your Jio No. XXXXXXXXXX needs to be re-verified through Aadhaar based E-KYC process. Please visit nearest Jio Store/Retailer with your Aadhaar Card to complete mandated E-KYC process.
Thank you, Team Jio
