Dear mahalakshmi,
Kindly check if she is referring to 'biometrics'...
My aadhaar card is deactivated. Is it compulsary to link with bank account with activated aadhaar card?
Dear Sumit ..Yes, as the bank has to access your details from UIDAI database.
dear MY aadhar is from Chattisgarh, when i went to ANdhra Pradesh and to register a land , in sub restrirar office my aadhar was not showing and so the registration of land was not done. They advised to go to e seva center.Why it was happend so? as my aadhar is active.
Dear Sai ..It can be a technical issue with their systems.
I had registered Aadhaar in Karnataka, used it in one of the Sub Registrar offices in AP a couple of years back successfully.
Kindly find out the reason from them....
Also, check if your Aadhaar is active or not and also the status of your 'bio-metric' details.
Thanks for reply. They dont know the region.Just they say it is other state Aadhar and go to e seva.Any how i will check with e seva. Thanks dear,.
Srikanth, Good article. However there is an issue here which I personally faced. What if someone Aadhaar card not updated with mobile number, in such case we cannot verify this process. One need to go to enroloment centre and update the mobile before you check about Aadhaar Card status.
Dear Suresh,
To verify the status of Aadhaar number (whether it is valid or not deactivated), OTP is not required. One needs to provide just his/her 12 digit Aadhaar card number.
