Update phone number on vahan and sarathi portal, credit:X
Updating your phone number on the government’s transport portals has become important these days in India. If you own a vehicle or have a driving license in India, then linking your current phone number with the Vahan and Sarathi portal is now essential. The update of phone number ensures that your records stay secure, accurate, and easy to access whenever you need them.
The linking of your phone number with Vahan and Sarathi app is essential because almost every service today in India relies on SMS communication. When the user links his or her number then they receive OTPs for renewals or corrections, e-challan updates, insurance reminders, registration alerts, and any official communication from the Road and Transport department.
If the users’ number is outdated, then they could miss important notices or find themself stuck when trying to complete a simple online process like renewing their license or paying a fine. The system verifies users through OTP, so it is important that the number is active and correct.
The government has made it simple to update the contact number by yourself but there is an important thing to remember that user should be both the owner of vehicle and driving license holder, and the user must update their phone number on both portals separately. Updating one will not update another automatically.

Step 5: Enter your phone number and click on generate OTP
