Aadhaar number or Unique Identity Number (UID), the 12-digit number printed on the Aadhaar card, is now mandatory for many essentials. These range from filing of income tax returns (ITRs) to applying for a Permanent Account Number (PAN). Now, the government is expanding scope of Aadhaar linkage. All SIMs (mobile phone numbers) not linked with Aadhaar will be deactivated after February 2018, according to a report by news agency Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) citing informed sources. The government is moving ahead with linking Aadhaar with mobile SIM cards, the agency further said.
Telecom companies have been instructing users to start the process of linking Aadhaar card with phone numbers. Many telecom operators have already started sending alerts to customers about completing the Aadhaar-SIM linking process.
