Aadhaar and Bank account needs to be linked. If you want to link your bank account with your Aadhaar number, you can do so by submitting your Aadhaar card to your Bank and linking it with your account.
But even if you have submitted your Aadhaar details with your bank account, there is a possibility that your bank account isn’t linked to your Aadhaar card. So you must check if your bank account is linked to the Aadhaar card.

These subsidies include LPG subsidy, social security pension and more.
