Correction on Resident non-Indian being eligible for Aadhaar duly noted. Ironically, Aadhaar could indeed prevent SIM swapping attacks in certain cases for those who have updated their Aadhaar number to their service provider. If the Aadhaar number is available at the service provider, it needs to be authenticated (via Biometric and SMS OTP) before swapping SIM. I wonder if the mobile is lost, whether at-least biometric part of the Aadhaar authentication is required to get the new SIM. Also, say if Aadhaar OTP needs to be entered in their internal service; bribing might not be possible.
