Can a 021 Trade account be opened online if the Aadhaar is not linked to a mobile number?
No, you cannot open a 021 Trade account online if your Aadhaar is not linked to your mobile number, as it is required for e-sign and OTP verification during the online account opening process.
An OTP is sent to the mobile number linked with your Aadhaar, and this OTP is mandatory to complete the verification. If you are able to receive this OTP on your registered mobile number, you can proceed with the online account opening.
Alternative options:
- Link your mobile number with Aadhaar: Visit your nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra to update your mobile number. Once linked, you can proceed with online account opening.
- Open the account offline: If you do not wish to link your Aadhaar with your mobile number, you can opt for the offline account opening process.
