To avoid online fraud, UIDAI has suggested that Aadhaar card holders keep their mobile number updated with their 12-digit unique identity number. The statutory authority that issued the Aadhaar number has stated that you can easily check whether someone's mobile number and email id are linked with his/her Aadhaar number. Simple steps have been revealed to check this.
UIDAI urges Aadhaar cardholders to check the status of linking their mobile number and email ID saying, “Always keep your mobile number updated in Aadhaar. If you have any doubts about whether your correct mobile number or email address is linked with Aadhar, you can verify it using this link.myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/verify-email-mobile

This process is necessary to avoid fraud
If OTP comes on the mobile number of your given email id, then it means that your mobile number or email id is linked to your aadhaar number. With this, you can avoid many frauds. Such people are often victimized by cyber frauds, who do not update their Aadhaar, PAN, etc. numbers. Cyber frauds do fraud by cloning your number or by issuing another number in your name. That's why this testing process is very important.
