Q.917 Aadhaar card to maintain NRI bank account in India?
I am living in USA and there is no chance to visit India to obtain Adharcard. Now Bank in India is asking for adharcard to maintain my account. How could I obtain it in USA. Natvarsinh Mahida Answer: Aadhaar card is not mandatory to open bank accounts in India and NRIs do not need to obtain Aadhaar card to maintain an existing bank account in India. Are you sure that the bank account you have in India is a non-resident bank account? Aadhaar card is only for residents. Although the government of India is supposedly in the process of allowing NRIs, OCIs and perhaps PIOs to get Aadhaar cards, no official announcement to this effect has been made so far. Notify your bank that as a NRI you do not need an Aadhaar car to maintain NRI bank accounts in India.
