How to know which Jio numbers linked to your Adhaar card?

Reliance Jio is the first telecom company which adopted and started full e-KYC through the linking and verification of Aadhaar numbers. At the time of purchasing a new Jio SIM, it is compulsory to provide your Aadhaar card number and get the fingerprint verification done at the Jio outlets. Later on, all the telecoms started this procedure, after government made it a mandatory step.

This Aadhaar based KYC compliance system made the registration process simple and effective. In simple terms, each Jio number is linked to one or other Aadhaar number. The Aadhaar management Authority, UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India ) has several times issued press releases and assured about the safety of Aadhaar biometric details. In spite of this, there is a big section of Indians who are not fully convinced about the effectiveness of this system. If you are one from this section, it is natural that you will be concerned about someone buying a Jio SIM in your Aadhaar details and using the SIM for illegal purposes.

In this post, we are going to discuss how one can know the list of Jio numbers linked to his Aadhaar number. There are two methods to complete this task. The first method is by trying to add a new link account where you will find a list of all Jio numbers linked to your Aadhaar number. If for some reasons, you find technical difficulties in the first method, you have one more method. In this second method, we try to recharge and will find the list. Both the methods yield the same results. Hence, we leave the choice to the wise readers.

Even though, you have only one Jio SIM, we recommend that occasionally you check if any other number is linked to your Aadhaar number. Before we begin, let us tell the readers that to use this procedure, the user must have at least one active Jio SIM.

First Method - " By adding a new link account to your Jio number "

Step-1:

Login to MyJio application with relevant credentials of Jio SIM linked to your Aadhaar number. In the home page, click on 'Link New Account' under the "My Account" section.

Step-2:

In the new screen, you will find the list of all Jio numbers linked against your Aadhaar number. There will be message reading "The following numbers are linked to your Aadhaar number. Select from below number(s) to add to your account" and the linked numbers will be displayed below this message, if any. If no number is listed, that means you don't have any other Jio numbers utilising your Aadhaar card.

In case, this method worked for you, don't forget to read a "Special Advice" in the end of this post. If you were not successful with this first procedure, we recommend you try with the second method given below.

Second Method - " By trying to recharge a Jio number "

Step-1:

Step-4:

If anything else is selected, make sure that you select "Mobile and Jiofi" from the dropdown list. Then enter the jio mobile number which is linked to your Aadhaar number. and click "Submit" button.

Step-5:

A new screen will be displayed with the list of all jio numbers linked to your Aadhaar number. On the top, your main mobile number will be displayed and below that you will find a list of other Jio numbers linked to your Aadhaar number. If no number is displayed, it means no other jio number is linked to your Aadhaar number.

Special Advice:

If you happen to find a unknown jio number in the list, immediately contact Jio customer support team and deactivate the number. To be on safer side, we suggest that you also lodge a complaint with full details at the nearest police station, so that any illegal issues will not bounce back on you.
