Connecting Aadhaar with the NPCI aims to improve the ease, security, and efficiency of digital payment transactions. By linking their Aadhaar with NPCI, individuals can use their Aadhaar number to authenticate various financial transactions.

Aadhaar seeding in NPCI mapper is mandatory to receive benefits provided under various government schemes. Aadhaar seeding with NPCI for bank accounts facilitates convenient DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) tracking while mitigating the risk of fraudulent activities. 
Once the Aadhaar is linked with the bank account to receive government scheme benefits, individuals should submit their written consent (NPCI Aadhaar Link Bank Account Form) to the bank. The bank will then link the Aadhaar number to the bank account in the NPCI mapper.
Here is the process to enable DBT in NPCI online:
Step 1: If you are a beneficiary of any government scheme, you do not have to register separately to enable DBT. You only need your Aadhaar number. However, if you are a service provider or agency disbursing fund, you will need to register with NPCI online and obtain a unique identifier.
Step 2: Link your Aadhaar with your bank account through your bank’s online portal, mobile app or visiting the bank branch.
Step 3: If you are disbursing funds, you will have to onboard the beneficiaries.
Step 4: After the beneficiaries are onboarded and their account is linked, the fund transfers can be initiated through the NPCI online platform. Once the fund transfer is initiated, the system will automatically verify the beneficiary’s details and credit it to their bank accounts.
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) mapper is the repository of Aadhaar numbers linked with a particular bank and used to route the Aadhaar-based payment transactions to the destination banks. 
With NPCI Mapper, individuals can verify the successful processing of their Aadhaar-based payments and ensure that the funds are transferred to the right bank. This verification process involves providing the UID number of the intended receiver and the IIN (Issuer Identification Number) of the bank. 
While there are advantages to linking with NPCI, you must be aware of the limitations associated with this process, which are as follows: 
Now that you know how to check NPCI Aadhaar link bank account status, you can easily ensure compliance with the RBI’s mandate of linking the two. Besides facilitating secure transactions, NPCI Aadhaar linking allows you to avail of Direct Benefit Transfers, grants easy access to government schemes and helps keep track of transactions. Therefore, it is necessary to link your Aadhaar with your bank account if you are receiving any government scheme benefits. 
Account holders can link their Aadhaar number with their bank account by visiting the official website of NPCI and downloading the form to form for NPCI Aadhaar link bank account.
You can check the status of NPCI Aadhaar-bank linking from UIDAI’s official website or by sending an SMS to *99*99*1#.
An individual has to fill out an NPCI mapping form, which is readily accessible from the NPCI’s official website, to link their Aadhaar number with their bank account. 
To fill out the Aadhaar link form, you first need to obtain it from the official website of the bank where you hold an account or by visiting its nearest branch. In this form, you need to accurately specify your bank account details and provide an Aadhaar number. Once filled, you need to attach self-attested photocopies of the supporting documents. 
In case your Aadhaar details are not mapped to NPCI, you need to visit your bank branch or contact the nodal officer of the bank branch where you hold an account. 
To find out whether your Aadhaar is linked with NPCI or not, you need to check the status of your NPCI Aadhaar linking online from the UIDAI website.
Generally, it takes around 48 hours to link your Aadhaar to your bank account with NPCI. 
To check your DBT-linked account, you need to visit the official website of UIDAI and navigate to the ‘Bank Linking Status’ tab. Following this, all you need to do is enter the OTP to verify your registered Aadhaar credentials. 
In such cases, you can visit the bank branch with consent form and ensure the bank seeds your Aadhaar with the NPCI mapper. You can also escalate it with the nodal officer in case there is a delay in the mapping process.
No, Aadhaar mapping with NPCI can be done free of cost.
