How to Change Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account in Sahara Refund Portal: CRCS Sahara Refund Portal

The Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies (CRCS) has set up the Sahara Refund Portal to facilitate refunds to depositors of Sahara Group cooperative societies. An important requirement for processing these refunds is that the bank accounts of the depositors must be seeded with their Aadhaar number. This linkage ensures secure and accurate fund transfer.

About Aadhaar Seeding

If you want to make changes in your Aadhaar linked bank account, any SMS can lead to your account being closed or we are not receiving money and you want to link your other account to Aadhaar. An Aadhaar-seeded bank account is one that is linked to the Aadhaar number of the account holder. To verify whether your bank account is linked to Aadhaar or not, you can visit UIDAI’s Bank Mapper.

What is Sahara Refund Portal?

The Sahara Refund Portal is an online platform developed by the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies (CRCS) under the Ministry of Cooperatives, Government of India to facilitate the refund process for depositors of certain Sahara Group cooperative societies. The initiative aims to ensure that individuals who have invested in these societies and have not received their matured deposits get their refunds in a transparent and efficient manner. Through the portal, eligible depositors can submit their claims online, which are then verified and the refund is then credited directly into their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.

Steps to Change Your Aadhaar-Seeded Bank Account

If you wish to change the bank account linked to your Aadhaar for receiving refunds through the Sahara Refund Portal, follow these steps:

• Choose Your Preferred Bank Account: Decide which bank account you want to link with your Aadhaar number.
• Link Aadhaar to the New Bank Account: Depending on your bank’s facilities, you can link your Aadhaar through various methods:

• • Internet Banking: Log in to your bank’s internet banking portal and follow the instructions to update your Aadhaar details
• • Mobile Banking App: Use your bank’s official mobile application to link your Aadhaar.
• • Branch Visit: Visit your bank branch in person, fill out the Aadhaar seeding form, and submit it along with necessary documents.
• • ATM: Some banks offer the facility to link Aadhaar through their ATMs
• • SMS or Phone Banking: Certain banks provide Aadhaar linking services via SMS or phone banking. Check with your bank for specific procedures.

• Update NPCI Mapper: After linking your Aadhaar to the new bank account, ensure that your bank updates this information in the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) mapper. This step is crucial as it directs all Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT), including refunds, to your newly linked bank account.
• Confirm the Update: After a few days, verify that your Aadhaar is linked to the correct bank account by revisiting the UIDAI’s Bank Mapper.

Important Information

Single bank account for DBT: At any point of time, only one bank account can be linked to your Aadhaar for receiving DBT. Linking a new bank account will override the previous account in NPCI Mapper.

Processing time: It may take a few days to get updated in NPCI Mapper. Plan accordingly to avoid any delay in receiving your refund.

No direct changes on the portal: The Sahara Refund portal does not provide an option to change your bank account details directly. All changes must be done by linking your Aadhaar to the new bank account, as described above.
