Be careful about withdrawing money through Aadhaar card! One mistake and the entire account will be empty

Right now who doesn’t have an Aadhaar Card. If you also have this important document then this article is for you. These days you will find many such shops in the market, where it is written ‘money is withdrawn from the Aadhaar card’. If you go to these shops and want to withdraw money from the Aadhaar card, then the person sitting there will take your Aadhaar card from you and withdraw money from your account and give it to you. For this, the shopkeeper charges a few rupees. However, as easy and safe as it looks, it is not so easy in reality. Especially if you are out in a city, then avoid it.

 

How to withdraw money from Aadhaar card?

 

Actually, the National Payments Corporation of India i.e. NPCI provides the facility of Aadhaar Enabled Payment System i.e. AEPS. In simple language, if your Aadhaar card is linked to your bank account, then you can withdraw money from your account without an ATM card just with the help of Aadhaar card.

 

For this, you have to go to a micro ATM. Where you can withdraw money from the bank account using your Aadhaar card and putting fingerprint. Banks do this work, but some shopkeepers whom you can also call a banking correspondent, they also do this. This service is for those who live in far-flung areas and do not have access to smartphones, internet connection or traditional banking services.

 

How does fraud happen?

 

A recent incident took place in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh. A man was duped of Rs 15,000 by two people on the pretext of withdrawing money from Aadhaar card in a village in Ghorawal Kotwali area here. In this case, the police had told that the victim Shivnarayan Vishwakarma went to a shopkeeper (banking representative) in his village who works to withdraw money from the Aadhaar card. He went there and gave his Aadhaar card and talked about withdrawing money.
