Aadhaar seeding allows you to link your unique 12-digit Aadhaar number with your account number at your bank, financial institution or utility company. Once your Aadhaar number is linked or 'seeded' with your account, these organisations can avail the facility of authentication and e-KYC (know your customer) services provided by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India). This means that you can use your Aadhaar number as a universal ID to confirm your identity across multiple organisations. Aadhaar seeding is thus a way of simplifying various authentication and KYC processes.
Aadhaar seeding is a very convenient way of simplifying various authentication and KYC processes. By linking your Aadhaar number with your account number, you can use your Aadhaar number as a universal ID to confirm your identity across multiple organisations. This is a very convenient way to reduce the number of documents that you need to carry around with you, and it also makes it easier for organisations to verify your identity.
The process of seeding your Aadhaar number with your account number is very simple. All you need to do is provide your Aadhaar number to the organisation with which you wish to seed it. The organisation will then verify your identity and seed your Aadhaar number with your account number.
It is important to note that you cannot be forced to seed your Aadhaar number with your account number. You can only do so if you wish to, and if you are comfortable with providing your Aadhaar number to the organisation.
