Information on How To Link IDBI Bank with Aadhaar

IDBI Bank is a reputed bank which offers a range of banking solutions to customers. If you hold a bank account with IDBI Bank, you can link your account with your Aadhaar card for ease of banking. Some time ago it was made mandatory by the Government to link your bank accounts with Aadhaar. This step was taken to eliminate the fraudulent and duplicate accounts which were operational in banks. Since Aadhaar number is a unique identification number, once linked with the bank account, it would mark the account to an individual. This would remove the possibility of a duplicate account and help in the prevention of money laundering. However, the Supreme Court overruled the Government’s mandate and made Aadhaar linking voluntary.
