Sample letter of application to the bank manager for linking aadhaar card with savings bank account

Most of the banks have made it mandatory to link aadhaar card with bank accounts. It is a kind of policy that even the government endorses and eligibility to certain subsidies also depend on this. Aadhaar card contains a random 12 digit number issued by UIDAI to Indian residents after proper verification. The entire exercise is an attempt to remove duplicity in recording resident information. Only one aadhaar card will be issued to a person as it involves demographic information (Name, age, gender. Address, etc) as well as biometric information (10 fingerprints, 2 iris scans and facial photograph). Linking of aadhaar card to bank accounts has the advantage that there can be no duplicity and direct benefit can be transferred to beneficiary from government subsidies. In order to link aadhaar card with bank account, a letter has to be written to the Bank Manager informing him about the matter. This is a simple letter of application to the Bank Manager for linking aadhaar card with savings bank account. The article addresses the question of properly presenting the request to the concerned person. It may be modified according to need and situation.
