According to the Government of India, it is mandatory to link your Aadhaar with certain documents and financial services, making the Aadhaar card one of the most essential proofs of identity in the country.
For many financial services like opening a Demat account, online KYC is possible only when your Aadhar card is linked with your mobile number. This is because, during the online KYC process, you will receive an OTP on the mobile number linked to your Aadhar card.
