This is now possible as RBI said in the same circular that it has decided to accept e-KYC service as a valid process for KYC verification. The bank will be responsible for printing your e-Aadhaar letter directly from the UIDAI portal, or adopt the e-KYC (electronic-know-your-customer) procedure or confirm identity and address of the resident through simple authentication service of UIDAI. Let’s say you only know your Aadhaar number or have a soft copy of e-Aadhaar with you when you go to a bank branch to open an account. The central bank has also told banks that if the address provided by the customer is the same as that on the Aadhaar letter, it can be accepted as a proof of both identity and address. The letter issued by UIDAI, which gives your details such as name, address and Aadhaar number, will now be accepted as a valid identity proof when you go to open a bank account. An e-Aadhaar is an electronically generated document that contains an image of your Aadhaar card and a letter from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
