title:How to Link Aadhaar to Bank Account via Mobile (Step-by-Step)

Tired of waiting in long bank queues to link your Aadhaar? You’re not alone. Most people dread the time-consuming process of visiting a branch, but the good news is you can do it right from your mobile phone. After analyzing this tutorial, I’ve simplified the steps to make it even easier for you—no technical skills required.

Linking Aadhaar to your bank account is mandatory for KYC compliance as per RBI guidelines and UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) rules. This process ensures your bank account is verified, reduces fraud, and allows you to access government schemes like direct benefit transfers (DBT). The video’s method aligns with UIDAI’s official mobile-friendly process, so you can trust its validity.

Access the Official UIDAI Portal

Open your mobile browser and go to uidai.gov.in (the correct official site—note: the video’s mention of chromecast.com is likely a typo). This is the only trusted source for Aadhaar-related services.

Navigate to Aadhaar Seeding Section

Scroll down to find the "Consumer" section. Click the "+" icon next to it, then select "Aadhaar Seeding Enable" (BASC). This section is designed for linking Aadhaar to financial accounts.

Fill the Seeding Form

  1. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number (double-check for errors).
  2. Choose "Seeding" from the request type options (this is for linking Aadhaar to your bank account).
  3. Select your bank from the dropdown list (all major banks are included).
  4. Enter your bank account number and confirm it (match exactly to avoid delays).
  5. Check the consent box to allow UIDAI and your bank to share data (required for verification).

Complete Captcha & Submit

Enter the captcha code exactly as shown (it’s case-sensitive). Click "Proceed"—remember, you have 8 minutes to finish the form before the session expires (as highlighted in the video). If you miss the window, you’ll need to restart the process.

The video focuses on the UIDAI portal, but there’s a quicker way: use your bank’s mobile app. Most banks (like SBI Yono, HDFC Mobile Banking) have a dedicated "Aadhaar Linking" section in their apps. This method skips external portals and uses your existing bank app credentials—saving even more time.

Another trend to note: UIDAI recently introduced biometric authentication for linking, which adds an extra layer of security. This feature is available in select bank apps and UIDAI’s mAadhaar app.
