How to Check If Your Bank Account Has Been Linked with Aadhaar


How to Check If Your Bank Account Has Been Linked with Aadhaar : In most cases, you will be notified of the status through an SMS on your registered mobile number or email address with the bank.

If you plan on linking your Aadhaar to your bank account, you are unlikely to find any information on how to check the status of your request on the UIDAI website. You will have to speak with your bank to know if your account and Aadhaar have been linked.
Previously, however, you could check if your Aadhaar and your bank account were linked via the UIDAI website.
The steps that were followed in this process were :

  • You then had to navigate to the ‘Aadhaar service’ category and select ‘Check Aadhaar & Bank Account Linking status’.

  • Once that was done, enter your 12-digit Aadhaar and the captcha provided. An OTP would then be sent to your registered mobile number.
  • On entering the OTP and logging in, a screen with the status of your request would be displayed.

  • If the linking was successful, the page would read ‘Congratulations! Your bank Aadhaar mapping is done’.
  • Do note that the above steps may not be valid any longer. If you wish to link your aadhaar card to your bank account, please get in touch with the bank.
