A Move Towards Digital India e-Gov ServicesAEPS cash withdrawal: safety checks before you place your finger
Aadhaar-enabled banking is convenient. These checks help you confirm the amount, keep your biometrics safe and report problems fast.
The Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS) lets you withdraw cash or check your balance at a banking correspondent point using your Aadhaar number and fingerprint. It is useful when a bank branch or ATM is far away, but it needs care.
Before authenticating, say the exact amount you want, watch it being entered, and check the bank name on screen. After the transaction, take the printed or SMS receipt and count your cash before leaving the counter.
Protect your biometrics
UIDAI lets you lock your Aadhaar biometrics through its official website or app and unlock them only when needed. Many people keep them locked and unlock them just before an AEPS transaction.
If something looks wrong
If money is debited but not paid, or you see a transaction you didn’t make, contact your bank immediately with the receipt or SMS. For fraud, you can also call the national cybercrime helpline 1930 or report it at cybercrime.gov.in.
