How to link Aadhaar number online with HDFC Bank
Read this article to learn the step by step instructions to link your Aadhaar number with your HDFC bank and get the government subsidies directly into your bank account.
Government of India introduced the Aadhaar number system to prevent abuse of government subsidies and also to unify tracking of government benefits to the citizens through a single channel. Government has declared that in future all subsidies will be given only through Aadhaar linked bank accounts, even though a lot of people are against it. It is confirmed that within a few months, the subsidy for residential LPG cylinders will be given only through the Aadhaar linked bank accounts.
Leave aside the controversies. Let us see how to link your Aadhaar number with your HDFC Bank account. Each bank may have slightly different procedure and if you are banking with other banks, check for the specific procedure in that bank.
All major banks in India has their own application forms, in which you can provide the basic details of your Aadhaar card. You may submit the filled application form, along with a copy of your card or e-Aadhaar. However, I did the same several weeks ago and nothing happened in my case. But it wasn't linked to my account even after several days.

How can you know if your Aadhaar number is correctly linked?
As of now, HDFC bank doesn't provide any options to check if your number is correctly linked. Your best option is to visit the branch 2-3 days after you submit the details only and check with them if the linking is complete.
Also, if you are availing the subsidized LPG cylinders, visit the LPG distributor office and submit a copy of the Aadhaar card there. Only if this step is also completed, the Aadhaar linking will be complete for the purpose of availing the subsidy for LPG.
