Mobile service customers who want to get their Aadhaar details deleted from records of their telecom operators can do so by providing another valid documents for verification, industry body COAI said on Thursday.
“Telecom players had a meeting with the Department of Telecom and they have been clarified that customers willing to get their Aadhaar details deleted from telecom operator data base should be allowed to do so against valid identity and address proof,” COAI Director General Rajan S Mathews said.
He said that telecom operators will need some time to verify documents shared by customers but his connection will continue to work as till the time documents are verified.
“Customers will need to call their operators to check about point of sales or service where they need to go with request for deletion of Aadhaar records,” Mathews said.
