That is why you should not lock it.
When you need to do Biometric Verification, It would not get unlocked if there is server issue.

I faced the same issue.
At the time of need, I was not able to unlock it.
Unnecessary Headache for me.

Without Biometric Verification and Aadhar Number, no one can withdraw funds from your Account using AEPS.

Think yourself in which situation your Fingre Prints get compromised to do BiometricVerification ?

Aadhar number may get compromised but Biometric Verification ?

How a Fraudster will complete Biometric Verification even if he/she has your Aadhar Number ?
Either by Kidnapping you or when you are not in your senses i.e, Drunked or he/she may fool you.

If there is any other situation let me know also.

I heard in some shocking incident, fingerprint info was leaked and was cloned using some polymer. Everything is now possible in the world of fraud 😢😢.

And I think OTP verification should be added for AePS as well as cyber threats are on the rise exponentially 🤢🤢.

But Cloning a Finger Print is not a Joke.

Finger data is only available in UIDAI Database
Or Our own fingers and Thumb.

Question is from Where Fraudster got the Finger Print Data ?

If it is carelessness/Security breach at UIDAI
Or
Carelessness of Account Holder who allowed a unknown Person to copy his/her Finger prints unknowingly or Knowingly or took his/her Finger Prints in the disguise of doing some other Activity like While issuing a new Sim Card or Bank KYC etc..


Then only locking Aadhar is not enough

We should cover our Naked hands also using Gloves 24×7 to avoid Cloning of finger Prints.

There us no way to optout

AePS
IMPS
ATM

Once you seed mobile IMPS works. Once you seed aadhaar AePS works . once you opted card atm works
.you can the the bank to avoid seeding aadhaar or lock biometrics ( but biometrics locking won't solve much)
