HDFC Bank — aadhar linked without my knowledge

Address: 400076

I have an account with HDFC bank which was a salary account opened by my previous employer. After quitting that job My salary account was converted to Savings account without any intimation or knowledge.

As per RBI rule it was mandatory to link Aadhar card to bank account however, I have not linked it as I didnt wanted it to be operational and HDFC wasnt helping to close it.
However, I received an text message stating aadhar card has been updated to my account. Since, I have never provided any Aadhar details to HDFC personal I was amazed as how this has happened and enquired the same with HDFC bank as per their escalation procedure. I have not received any proper response apart from giving random answers.

I want to file a complaint and severe action needs to be taken for this scenario as Aadhar details are confidential and I have not provided it to them better asked them to linked it. Please tell me the procedure for the same.

Below is the detailed conversation with bank manager:

Dear Priya,

I hope you are doing well.

I am aware of the rules of linking Aadhar card to everything. My question is and I quote once again "FROM WHERE YOU GOT MY AADHAR DETAILS TO UPDATE IT IN YOUR SYSTEM?". And please do not say In light of the above directive, we have updated your Aadhaar no with Customer ID ending with 715 as received along with Credit card application form.

For you to receive these details I will have to send it. I have already informed your employee who called me the other day that I have never by any mean whatsoever provided aadhar details to anyone from HDFC bank.

Plus thanks to bringing to my notice, what is going on with the with Credit card application form.

I HAVE NOT SUBMITTED ANY APPLICATION FORM.

Every-time I contact or I get any correspondence from HDFC I am surprised as I get to know what I have done with HDFC account when I am not the one who is doing it.

This details are taken without my knowledge and updated with my permission. Please clarify why this activity has taken place.

I am taking this email as a reference to a complaint which I am raising with ombudsman as well as uidai.
