Aadhaar linkage to banks is facilitating crimes.

If well educated and well informed people like a retired IAS officer and State Election Commissioner can be duped/robbed then how safe is a common man's life savings in a bank, when it is connected to Aadhaar?

Inspite of so many warnings and alerts from banks NOT TO SHARE YOUR OTP or any bank information with anyone, why do these people keep repeating same mistakes and falling prey ?
 
Because UIDAI said that there are laws which will take care of crimes.

So people should be worry free.

“As per the complainant, he had told the caller that he frequently received messages from the bank informing him that he should not share his account details. The caller, however, managed to convince Tawde that he is calling from his bank and told the complainant that if he did not reveal the details, the bank would deduct Rs 2,000 from his account,” added the officer.

Same tact as Govt, If you don't link Aadhaar your bank account, mobile and other services will be blocked. How can the citizen distinguish between a Govt official and criminal?
 
You must not share Aadhaar and its OTP with anybody
While the deadlines have been extended, fraudsters are trying to take advantage of the earlier deadline of 31 March to call individuals and extract data from them, which can further be used to commit fraud. If you get a call asking for any bank-related details, do not disclose anything.

Never share details over a call
Fraudsters keep changing their approach to get details from people over calls. You should be aware that no bank or financial institution would ask for sensitive details like your debit or credit card number, bank account number, card expiry, CVV or ATM PIN or an OTP.
If you get an OTP, you must physically enter this on the Web interface yourself. When linking Aadhaar, always use official channels like the bank’s or financial institution’s website or mobile app, even though the deadline has been extended indefinitely for now.

The best option is to not link Aadhaar with bank a/c.
