Bank Mapper Kya Hai (Core Understanding)
Bank mapper ek centralized system hai jo Aadhaar number ko kisi specific bank account ke saath link karta hai. Yeh system NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) ke Aadhaar Mapper framework ka part hai.
Simple terms me, bank mapper decide karta hai ki agar kisi Aadhaar number par subsidy ya DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) bheja jaye, to wo kis bank account me credit hoga.
Bank Mapper Ka Role Digital Ecosystem Me
- Aadhaar-based payments routing
- DBT subsidy transfer
- Government benefit distribution
- AEPS (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System)
System-Level Working (Deep Insight)
- User Aadhaar bank se link karta hai
- Bank NPCI mapper me update bhejta hai
- Mapper Aadhaar ko bank account ke saath map karta hai
- Jab payment initiate hota hai → NPCI mapper correct bank identify karta hai
- Funds us bank account me transfer ho jate hain
Important Concept: Latest Bank Priority
Agar user multiple banks me Aadhaar link karta hai:
- Latest linked bank account primary ban jata hai
- Previous mapping override ho jati hai
Real-World Scenario
User ka Aadhaar SBI aur PNB dono me linked hai → last linking PNB me hui → DBT payment PNB account me aayega.
