✅ Your fix path
Fix thisCorrect your Bank account. Aadhaar linking for KYC is not the same as NPCI seeding for payments. Fix the name first, then re-seed. Only one account can be active for DBT at a time.

ProofAadhaar with the correct name and your bank passbook
⚠️Even a small difference (initials vs full name, an extra surname) breaks the payment. Ask the branch to enable the NPCI / DBT flag and check status at base.npci.org.in.
❓ Common questions
Why is my scheme payment failing if my bank is active?+
DBT payments use the NPCI Aadhaar mapper, not your account number. If your name does not match or your account is not seeded, the credit fails even though the account works.
What is the difference between KYC linking and NPCI seeding?+
KYC linking lets the bank verify you. NPCI seeding tells the government which account should receive your scheme money.
You need both, and only one account can be seeded for DBT at a time.
How do I fix a name mismatch with my bank?+
Visit the branch with your Aadhaar, update your KYC to match it, then submit a fresh NPCI consent form to re-seed the account for DBT.
Where can I check my NPCI status?+
You can check your Aadhaar seeding status at the NPCI BASE portal. If it does not read enabled for DBT, ask the branch to enable the flag.
