The UIDAI, the authority that issues Aadhaar card, has said linking of UID (Unique Identity Number) with PAN, bank account and mobile SIMs, among others, is mandatory and deadlines are “valid and lawful” as of now.
Have you linked your Aadhaar – the 12-digit personal identification number issued by the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) – with your ICICI Bank account already? ICICI Bank has listed on its website – icicibank.com – multiple ways for its customers to update their Aadhaar in their accounts with the bank. ICICI Bank offers different facilities for its customers to link their Aadhaar or the 12-digit UID (Unique Identity Number) with their bank accounts. These are mobile app (iMobile), ATM, internet banking, phone banking and branch visit, according to the ICICI Bank website.
The UIDAI, the authority that issues Aadhaar card, has said linking of UID (Unique Identity Number) with PAN, bank account and mobile SIMs, among others, is mandatory and deadlines are “valid and lawful” as of now. Bank accounts have to be linked to Aadhaar by December 31. A five-judge bench of the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Deepak Mishra, is expected next week to issue an interim order in the matter.
“All Government benefits will now be routed through the bank account that is linked to Aadhaar / UID number…We request you to link your Aadhaar / UID number to your ICICI Bank Savings Account to avail Government subsidies / payments directly to your bank account,” ICICI Bank has said on its website.
