The aadhaar and bank account linking has been proposed by the government and no call for the aforesaid has been made by the RBI.

At a time when all banks are constantly reminding customers to link their bank accounts with their UIDAI issued Aadhaar ID and even as we log in to the account via personal banking, the notification asks us to do the needful in this direction. RBI in a RTI said, ""has not issued any instruction so far regarding mandatory liking of Aadhaar number with bank accounts."
