Aadhaar Seeding / Deseeding — Link Aadhaar to Bank for DBT
Aadhaar seeding maps your Aadhaar number to one bank account in the NPCI mapper, so government payments under Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) reach that account. This page explains how to check the mapping, seed a new account, and de-seed an old one.

How to Check and Change Aadhaar Seeding
Seeding is not the same as linking Aadhaar for KYC at your bank — KYC only records Aadhaar in the bank's own records, while seeding puts the account in the NPCI mapper that government payments use. Only one bank account can be the active DBT account for an Aadhaar at a time. Check your current mapping first on the NPCI BASE portal or on myAadhaar under Bank Seeding Status, then seed or de-seed through your bank or the BASE portal. Seeding is free on official portals.
- Open the official NPCI BASE portal link given in Important Links on this page.
- Choose the option to check Aadhaar seeding status and enter your Aadhaar number and the captcha.
- Verify with the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-registered mobile number and read which bank is mapped.
- To seed a new account, use the fresh seeding option on the BASE portal or ask your bank branch for the Aadhaar seeding form.
- To stop payments going to a wrong account, use the de-seeding option on the BASE portal, then seed the correct account.
Documents Needed
- Aadhaar number and the mobile number registered with Aadhaar, for OTP verification.
- Bank account number and IFSC of the account you want mapped for DBT payments.
- A self-attested copy of your Aadhaar card, if your bank branch asks for the seeding form.
- Your bank passbook, to confirm the account details before seeding.
Bank-Aadhaar Link — Is It the Same as Seeding?
Linking Aadhaar at your bank for KYC and seeding Aadhaar for DBT are two different things. KYC only records your Aadhaar in the bank's own records. Seeding puts the account in the NPCI mapper, which is what government DBT payments use. If a scholarship, pension or subsidy is not reaching your account, check the seeding status first on the BASE portal — a KYC-linked account that is not seeded will not receive DBT payments.
Safety Note
Never pay a private website or agent to apply for a government service or scheme, and never share your Aadhaar number, bank details or one-time password (OTP) with anyone who offers to do it for you. Use only the official portal linked on this page, and check every detail on the official portal before you apply.
