Aadhaar card has to be linked with PAN card for filing income tax returns
Are you sure that the contact information
registered with Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for
your Aadhaar Card is correct? If not, we would advise you to head to the
UIDAI website and check it out for yourself. Aadhaar card is
increasingly becoming the most important proof of identification and
considering that the government has made it mandatory to link your
Aadhaar cards with PAN card for filing income tax returns, its
importance has grown further. UIDAI has now provided an online tool for
you to verify that the contact information provided in Aadhaar card is
correct.
In order to verify whether your contact number is correct on the Aadhaar card, you need to head to the home page of the UIDAI
website and choose the option Verify Email/Mobile Number under Aadhaar
Services tab. In the new tab, you need to enter details like your
Aadhaar number, email address, mobile number that you need to verify,
and a security code. Notably, the UIDAI security code is case sensitive
and users should keep in mind that letters in upper and lower case will
be treated as different entities by the system.
How to verify email address on UIDAI website
In order to verify the email address, users need
to enter the Aadhaar number, email address, and a security code on the
UIDAI platform. Then they will receive the OTP on their email address,
which is then required to be entered on the right side of the page in
the space provided. In case of entries that are valid and match, the
system responds by saying “Congratulations! The Email ID matches with
our records!”

Importance
The information provided to UIDAI for the Aadhaar

these details associated with your identity are correctly noted down in
