Now most banks in India do the process of Aadhaar linking under KYC while opening an account, but if that has not been done, then you can link it yourself. However, the Supreme Court has clarified that linking Aadhaar is not mandatory for general banking services. But if you want to avail the benefits of government subsidy, DBT or any scheme, then Aadhaar-bank account linking is necessary.
