Recently, PIB India Ministry of Communications tweeted from its official Twitter handle, "Now a resident Aadhaar holder can get his mobile number updated in Aadhaar by the postman at his doorstep. @IPPBOnline launched today a service for updating mobile number in Aadhaar as a Registrar for @UIDAI." 

 

India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) has launched the service for updating mobile number in Aadhaar as a Registrar for UIDAI. With the help of this service, an Aadhaar holder will be able to update his or her mobile number in Aadhaar by the postman at one's doorstep. 

This service will be made available through the extensive network of 650 IPPB branches and 146,000 postmen and Gramin Dak Sevaks that have been enabled to provide a range of banking services equipped with smartphones and biometric devices. 

It must be noted that currently, IPPB is only providing mobile update service but soon it will also enable child enrolment service through its network. IPPB has also ensured readiness for rolling out these Aadhaar services across all branches/ districts through a national infrastructure of trained postmen/ Gramin Dak Sevaks. 

Regarding this mobile updating facility for Aadhaar at doorstep, Dr. Saurabh Garg, CEO, UIDAI said that this will immensely help the residents as once mobile is updated in Aadhaar, they can avail a number of UIDAI's online update facilities and also several welfare services of the government. 

J Venkatramu, MD and CEO, IPPB said, "The mobile update service of UIDAI through the ubiquitous and accessible network of post offices , postmen and Gramin Dak Sevaks will help in actualising IPPB's vision of serving the underserved and unbanked areas, and bridging the digital divide."
