The government is revamping the process for mapping Aadhaar-linked bank accounts to subsidy payments. Besides, it has also temporarily stopped the provision of overwriting existing subsidy-linked bank accounts with freshly mapped Aadhaar accounts

The move comes after allegations of Bharti Airtel using the Aadhaar-eKYC based SIM verification process to open payments bank accounts of its subscribers without their informed consent.

After the action, the UIDAI has temporarily barred Bharti Airtel and Airtel Payments Bank from conducting Aadhaar-based SIM verification of mobile customers using the eKYC process as well as e-KYC of payments bank clients.

The Supreme Court will set up a Constitution bench next week to hear interim pleas seeking a stay on Centre's move to link Aadhaar with various schemes and services.

Banks were asked to halt the current process for the next 10 days starting December 18 until their core banking software was revised to adopt the new system. These guidelines were given in a meeting held at the cabinet secretariat last week.

Under the current system, if you are linking your bank accounts with Aadhaar, it will automatically map them to the Aadhaar payment bridge hosted by National Payments Corporation of India.

Since government departments send subsidies to the payment bridge, the money was automatically transferred to the last account seeded with Aadhaar.
