Then, log in to the app using your registered mobile number or customer number.
Go to the app’s menu and click on the ‘Aadhaar Authentication’ or ‘e-KYC’ option.
For face scanning, you also need to download the ‘Aadhaar FaceRD’ app from the Google Play Store.
Scan your face as per the instructions given in the app. After the verification is successful, your data will be updated.
