How to verify your Aadhaar with Airtel mobile online

There’s good news for senior citizens, non-resident Indians (NRIs) and handicapped mobile subscribers of Bharti Airtel who were facing problems verifying their Aadhaar.

The telecom operator has launched an online option – in compliance with a Department of Telecommunications (DoT) directive – to verify know-your-customer (KYC) details for such customers. Although mobile operators had to provide the online option January 1 onwards, BSNL and Airtel are the only ones to have launched the facility so far.



DoT had directed all telecom service providers (TSPs) to provide an alternative online Aadhaar verification process which would allow senior citizens, handicapped, NRIs, and those whose finger prints have worn out to verify their Aadhaar without visiting the store and without physical biometric verification. The ministry had asked for this facility to be put in place because this category of people were finding it difficult to physically visit stores of their TSPs or their fingerprints had worn out.
