These days you will find many such shops in the market, where it is written ‘Money is withdrawn from Aadhaar card’. If you go to these shops and want to withdraw money from your Aadhar card, the person sitting there will take your Aadhar card from you and withdraw the money from your account and give it to you. The shopkeeper charges a few rupees for this. However, as easy and safe as it looks, it is not so in reality. Especially if you are outside in a city then stay away from this.
How to withdraw money from Aadhar Card?
Actually, National Payments Corporation of India i.e. NPCI provides the facility of Aadhaar Enabled Payment System i.e. AIPS. In simple language, if your Aadhaar card is linked to your bank account, then you can withdraw money from your account only with the help of Aadhaar card without ATM card.
For this you have to go to a micro ATM. Where you can withdraw money from your bank account by using your Aadhar card and fingerprint. Banks definitely do this work, but some shopkeepers, whom you can also call banking correspondents, also do this. This service is for those who live in remote areas and do not have access to smartphones, internet connection or traditional banking services.
