Q?KEY STORY

  • In India, the Aadhaar card has become an obligatory document without which you would be unable to perform any government or non-government activity. You can get practically all of the information you need from your phone. However, a sizable portion of the population in the country still does not have access to the internet. Keeping such people in mind, UIDAI has introduced a function that allows you to access a variety of services without using the internet.
  • UIDAI has launched a number of Aadhaar-related services that may be accessed by SMS. You do not need to use the Internet to access the UIDAI website, nor do you need to download the Aadhaar app. This does not even necessitate the use of a smartphone. These services are available to anyone, even if they only have a basic feature phone with no internet access.
  • Users can use this particular feature to access a variety of Aadhaar-related services, including the development and retrieval of Virtual ID (VID), locking and unlocking their Aadhaar, and biometric locking and unlocking. By sending an SMS from your registered mobile number to the hotline number 1947, you can take advantage of whichever feature or service you choose.
