But this is just the first step, the second step would be to know which Mobile no. is connected to your Aadhar card.
We understand that you can remember which no. is connected with your Aadhar card but sometimes you can forget. To give you the solution to this problem we are making this article so that you can understand “How to do an Aadhar card mobile number check”
Here we will be using two methods, which are very popular and authentic.

The second method will be to use the TAFCOP portal, this portal is linked with the Department of Telecommunication.
The traditional way to Aadhar card mobile number check
In this method, we verify our no. to see if we get OTP on our mobile number or not. But this method can be time-consuming for you. If have an idea that no. can be connected to your Aadhar card then you can go with this method.
First, you go to the official website of UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India). Then on the home page click on the “My Aadhaar” option in the header section (Top of the home page) then you have to go for “verify Email and mobile number”.
You click on this then you will be transferred to a new page where you have to fill in your Aadhar number and your Mobile number then you have to enter the captcha code which will be given on the screen.
After that, you need to tap on “send OTP” If you see the message “The Mobile no. given is already verified with our records” this indicates that the given mobile no. is linked with your Aadhar card.
If your mobile no. is not linked with the mobile no. then you will get a different message “The Mobile number you have entered does not match our records.” this means your given no. is not linked with your Aadhar card. You must have some different no. or your mobile no. is not connected to your Aadhar card.
