Linking Aadhaar with bank account not mandatory yet: RBI reveals in RTI

[Bhai]

It is important to note that while banks have started asking their customers to link Aadhaar with their bank accounts, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said it "has not issued any instruction so far regarding mandatory liking of Aadhaar number with bank accounts."

The central bank said this in response to a Right to Information (RTI) application filed by Moneylife.in.

The bank's response indicates that decision to mandatorily link bank accounts and Aadhaar was taken by the Centre alone, not the Reserve Bank.
