Step-By-Step Guide On How To Check Your Bank Balance Using Your Aadhaar Card

Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number provided by the UIDAI to the residents of India after a certain verification process

The 12-digit Aadhaar unique identifying number now makes it possible for you to view the amount of your bank account. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) states that individuals must link their Aadhaar cards to their bank accounts and mobile numbers. Since this service can be accessed without an Internet connection, it is simpler for senior citizens, those without smartphones, and individuals with disabilities to check and confirm their bank information without having to go to a bank branch.

Follow these steps to check bank balance using Aadhaar

• Step 1: Dial *99*99*1# from your registered mobile number
• Step 2: Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number for verification
• Step 3: Confirm your Aadhar number by entering it again
• Step 4: You will receive an SMS from UIDAI with the bank balance displayed on the screen

What is Aadhaar?

The UIDAI issues inhabitants of India with Aadhaar, a 12-digit unique identity number, following a particular verification procedure. People must supply basic demographic and biometric data, such as their name, date of birth or age, gender, address, phone number, and email address (optional), as well as their fingerprints, iris scans, and a facial photograph, in order to obtain an Aadhaar number.
