- Getting one's Aadhaar card bank account linked is useful for public in general as it is a valid KYC document to open a bank account
Aadhaar bank link status: Linking Aadhaar card with one's bank account is mandatory for getting government schemes like PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana benefit, LPG subsidy, etc. In fact, getting one's Aadhaar card bank account linked is useful for public in general too as it is a valid KYC (Know your Customer) document to open a bank account.
