Airtel is among the industry players of multinational telecom operators. Airtel subscribers must link their Aadhaar card with the Airtel number in compliance with the guidelines provided by the Central Government. This refers to numbers that are prepaid as well as postpaid. Individuals having several Airtel numbers may individually link each of their numbers to Aadhaar as all the other Airtel numbers will not be relevant to link one Airtel number with Aadhaar. For Indian citizens or non-resident Indians with functional Airtel mobile numbers, though, it is not compulsory to link Aadhar with their Airtel number. This action was taken to limit the increasing cases of using false identification cards and other misconducts to get SIM cards. In order to be able to link their Aadhaar to the Airtel number, individuals must register their Airtel numbers with UIDAI. It is not possible to link those contact numbers that have not been registered with Aadhaar. For re-verification, all customers who have not registered or changed their Airtel mobile numbers with UIDAI will have to visit any nearest Airtel store.
