Application Letter for Linking Aadhaar Card to Bank Account

The Government of India had made updating Aadhar numbers in the bank accounts of customers compulsory. But, due to a Supreme Court's judgment, the customers cannot be forced to link their bank account with Aadhar.

However, if you are still interested to link your Aadhar with your bank account for some purposes like receiving gas connection subsidies, etc., then you should apply to your bank for such an updation.

There are different methods to update your Aadhar number in a bank account.

(1) Through the Netbanking portal of the bank - login and update the details.

(2) Submit application form at the bank's branch office.

(3) Write a letter to the bank with all the details and submit it.

Following format of request letter to the bank for updating Aadhar number in your bank account is for your reference.
