Just read the story. The story is more about Aadhaar eKYC mess than @paytm & how it is destroying Industry. Whole Banking Industry is now into "mandatory" Aadhaar eKYC rush for even though there is nothing makes aadhaar mandatory for a/c opening. Thread cc: @TheKenWeb

Parliament Question on 23rd March 2018 says - Notified date or six months of the date of commencement of account based relationship by the client *whichever is later* as the date of submission of Aadhaar number 
Deadline for linking Aadhaar with bank accounts is indefinitely extended and notified. In short there is no deadline or dependency for Aadhaar e-KYC for opening or maintaining bank accounts . @TheKenWeb treats KYC as Aadhaar eKYC alone in article
Every industry adopted Aadhaar eKYC is going to be impacted since it relies on treating consent in Aadhaar way. medium.com/karana/consent…
The @TheKenWeb Research 's last point on timeline is not correct based on above information. Law so far not mandated aadhaar for opening new bank accounts. In my observation, what happening now is the fall of Aadhaar's "presence less" & "paperless" promises cc: @akm1410
