How It Works?
AEPS uses Aadhaar Card of the bank customer as his/her identity to access his/ her bank account linked with that Aadhaar and do basic intra bank or interbank transactions that include Cash Deposit, Remittances, Balance Enquiry, and Cash Withdrawal. A Transaction Receipt is printed for all transactions either intra-bank or inter-bank and given to the customer for the transaction record showing the final status of the account, by the business correspondent by whom the cash transaction was done.
