Aadhaar Card (Mandatory)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Your\u00a0<strong>Aadhaar number<\/strong>\u00a0is the backbone of AEPS. It serves as your identity proof and is used for biometric authentication (fingerprint\/iris scan).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Ensure your Aadhaar details are\u00a0<strong>correct and updated<\/strong>\u00a0in the UIDAI database.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">If your mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar, visit an\u00a0<strong>Aadhaar Enrollment Center<\/strong>\u00a0to update it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2. Bank Account Linked with Aadhaar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Your bank account must be\u00a0<strong>seeded with your Aadhaar number<\/strong>. Here\u2019s how to check:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Log in to your\u00a0<strong>net banking portal<\/strong>\u00a0and check the &#8220;Aadhaar linking status.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Visit your bank branch and submit an\u00a0<strong>Aadhaar linking request<\/strong>\u00a0if not already done.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>3. Registered Mobile Number<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">A mobile number linked with both\u00a0<strong>Aadhaar and your bank account<\/strong>\u00a0is essential for OTP verification and transaction alerts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">If your number isn\u2019t linked, update it via:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Bank branch<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Net banking<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>ATM<\/strong>\u00a0(some banks allow Aadhaar updates via ATM)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>4. Bank Passbook or Account Details<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">While not always mandatory, having your\u00a0<strong>bank passbook or account details<\/strong>\u00a0helps verify your account information during AEPS registration.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Biometric Data (Fingerprint\/Iris Scan)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Since AEPS relies on\u00a0<strong>biometric authentication<\/strong>, your fingerprints and iris details must be correctly stored in the\u00a0<strong>UIDAI database<\/strong>.
