After clicking on the eKYC Services tab, the app will lead you to the process of ‘Aadhaar Seeding’. You need to click on ‘Aadhaar Seeding’ option to proceed. Don't forget to keep your active UAN number handy as you will be needing it to proceed further.
Now the app will ask you to enter your UAN number. An OTP will be sent to your UAN-registered mobile. Once the verification is done, you will then have to provide your Aadhaar details and gender information. Finally, once the OTP verification is done successfully, your Aadhaar will get linked to your UAN number.
