Aadhaar bank seeding status
Check free on the official myAadhaar website which bank account gets your government scheme money. You need your own Aadhaar number and the phone linked to it.
Free on the official page. Your own numbers only. We have no automated link to any government portal, use no private data services, and never store the result.
What you need
- Your own Aadhaar number (12 digits) or your VID (Virtual ID, a 16-digit number you can use in place of Aadhaar).
- The mobile phone linked to your Aadhaar, with you. An OTP (one-time code) comes to it. You type it yourself and never tell it to anyone.
- A phone or computer with internet. UIDAI (the Aadhaar office) shows this status free.
What to do on the official page
- Open the official myAadhaar website (the button on this page). Its address ends in uidai.gov.in. Do not use other sites that ask for your Aadhaar number.
- Open 'Bank Seeding Status'. If the page asks you to log in, click 'Login' first.
- Type your own Aadhaar number or VID. Type the picture code (captcha) yourself.
- Click 'Send OTP'. Type the OTP from your own phone yourself. Click 'Login' or 'Submit'.
- Read the result. It shows the bank name, whether seeding is active, and the date it was last changed. Find it in the list below.
- This data comes from NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India, which routes government money to banks). If it looks wrong, ask your bank.
What the result means
The portal shows: Your bank name, with seeding status 'Active'.
It means: Government scheme money linked to your Aadhaar, called DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer), goes to this bank. Ladki Bahin, PM-Kisan, MahaDBT scholarship and LPG subsidy money all use this link.
What to do next: Nothing to do. If you have two accounts in that bank, ask the branch which one is linked. Money still missing? Check the scheme's own status page.
The portal shows: Seeding status 'Inactive', or not seeded / no bank shown.
It means: No bank account is ready to receive government money through your Aadhaar. Scheme money linked to Aadhaar can fail or stop.
What to do next: Go to your own bank branch with your Aadhaar and passbook. Ask them to seed your Aadhaar for DBT and fill the bank's consent form. It is free. Check here again after a few days.
The portal shows: A different bank from the one you want.
It means: Government money goes to only one account: the last one seeded. Another bank may have seeded your Aadhaar later, for example when you opened a new account.
What to do next: Go to the bank where you want the money. Fill its consent form to make that account your DBT account. Free.
The portal shows: An error, or the OTP does not come.
It means: A digit or the captcha was wrong, the site is busy, or your Aadhaar is not linked to the phone you have.
What to do next: Try again later. If the OTP never comes, update your mobile at an Aadhaar centre (₹75). Or ask your bank branch for your seeding status. Help: UIDAI helpline 1947.
Frequently asked questions
Is checking bank seeding status free?
Yes. myAadhaar shows it free. Seeding at your bank is also free. FormSathi does not charge for this page.
My Aadhaar is linked to my bank account. Why is seeding inactive?
Linking Aadhaar to an account for KYC (your identity check) is not the same as DBT seeding with NPCI. Ask your bank to do the DBT seeding and fill its consent form.
Can scheme money come to two bank accounts?
No. DBT money linked to Aadhaar goes to one account only: the one you chose on the bank's consent form. To change it, fill the form at the new bank.
Can I check someone else's bank seeding?
Check only your own, or help a family member who is with you and agrees; the OTP goes to their phone and they type it. FormSathi never looks up another person's Aadhaar.
Is there another official way to check?
Yes. UIDAI also points to NPCI's own seeding status page. Your bank branch can tell you too. Never pay an agent for this.
