is purely lies with the bank only. The customer should not be told that NPCI has not updated the
Aadhaar number.

branch should not show CBS screen or provide screen shot to the customer confirming seeding.
3. 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.

of the customer.
Responsibility of NPCI:

their customer’s request.

banks.
3. NPCI on its own does not update the mapper records.

teams concerned in banks for necessary action.
