Online Linking of Bank Accounts with Aadhaar :- It is essential to link your Aadhaar card with your bank account primarily because it is mandatory for receiving government subsidies (DBT)—such as those for gas, scholarships, pensions, and the PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi—directly into your account. This measure prevents fraud, verifies identity, and ensures financial security by guaranteeing that funds reach the intended beneficiary. You can link your Aadhaar with your bank account through the NPCI platform.
How to link Aadhaar with bank (step-by-step) Prosses.
Step 1:- First, you need to visit the official NPCI website by clicking on the link provided below.
Step 2:- After visiting the official portal, click on the three lines and navigate to the ‘Customer’ option.
Step 3:- Next, you will find an option labeled “Bharat Aadhaar Seeding”; click on it. Then, an Aadhaar Seeding option will appear before you; click on that as well.
Step 4:- Next, a form will open up before you, where you will need to fill in some essential details—such as your Aadhaar number—select your bank account, tick the ‘Fresh Seeding’ option, enter your bank account number, and then submit the form.
Step 5:- And just like that, your entire process will be complete; your bank account and Aadhaar card will be linked within 2 to 3 days.
Important Information:
- Timeline :- Seeding typically takes 24 to 48 hours.
- Confirmation :- Following successful linking, the bank will send a confirmation via SMS.
- Check Status :- You can check the status of the seeding process on the NPCI website using the ‘Aadhaar Mapped Status’ option.
Note :- Ensure that your mobile number is linked with your Aadhaar, as the OTP will be sent to that number.
So friends, this is how you can link your Aadhaar card to your bank account, ensuring that you never face any issues—neither when sending money nor when receiving funds into your account.
