In an era of financial fraud and identity theft, protecting your personal information and financial resources is paramount. It is crucial for every Indian citizen possessing an Aadhaar card to take this essential step to ensure their financial security. Failing to do so could potentially result in financial losses.
In today's technologically advanced world, where numerous tasks can be accomplished with a simple click, the convenience provided by AEPS (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System) is undeniable. However, it's essential to be aware that this convenience also significantly threatens your financial well-being.
To prevent the risk of financial loss, Aadhaar card users should follow these steps immediately:

- Tap on "Lock Biometric."
- You must enter a security captcha and another OTP to confirm your identity.
- After confirming the OTP, your biometrics will be successfully locked.
