Role of the Bank / Branch:

• Verifying the completeness of the consent form, checking the documentation and authenticating the customer’s signature.
• After the officials are satisfied with the documentation they should carry out the following activities
  • Linking the Aadhaar number to the bank account (in CBS)
  • Updating NPCI mapper
• By linking the Aadhaar number to the account the branch is not updating the mapper. The mapper update process has to be followed by their central team or IT division as the case may be.
• After the mapper files are uploaded the response files received from NPCI have to be verified.
• In case of failure in updating any Aadhaar number/s then necessary corrective action has to be taken and CBS also should be updated accordingly.
• Customer query / complaint handling
  • Branches should understand that if Aadhaar number is not updated in the NPCI mapper the action purely lies with the bank only. The customer should not be told that NPCI has not updated the Aadhaar number.
  • Aadhaar number being active in bank’s CBS does not mean that mapper file is updated, the branch should not show CBS screen or provide screen shot to the customer confirming seeding.
  • If the customer complaints, the branch should approach their internal team handling Aadhaar mapping and ascertain the reason for non-updating the Aadhaar in NPCI mapper.
  • After ascertaining the root cause bank should take corrective action and redress the grievance of the customer.

Responsibility of NPCI:

1. Mapper is a platform provided by NPCI for the banks to update or remove Aadhaar numbers as per their customer’s request.
2. The activity of updating or removing an Aadhaar number from mapper can be performed only by the banks.
3. NPCI on its own does not update the mapper records.
4. In case customer approaches NPCI for grievance redressal, NPCI will have to reach out to the teams concerned in banks for necessary action.
5. NPCI will ensure that mapper platform is available, files submitted by banks are processed and response is provided.
