I understand that the deactivation process may involve certain formalities or documentation, if required, I am willing to comply with any such requirements. Please let me know the necessary steps and any documents I need to provide to facilitate the deactivation process.

what is non-linked?

I guess, a linked FD is something like this..

You link your FD to your sb/ca account to protect against insufficient balance due to excessive withdrawals beyond your sb account balance. When your sb balance becomes negative it draws funds from linked fd also called " sweep in"
Here is an example

ah ok. I thought there was some concept of FD without a bank account, which I didn't know

It appears that this issue is becoming increasingly widespread nowadays. It is crucial to take serious steps towards finding a solution, as the current practice of locking and unlocking seems more like a temporary fix rather than a long-term solution.

I remember reading an incident about fraudsters copying fingerprints from papers in land records office, in connivance with govt. employees and they made finger print clones using polymers and proceeded to drain bank balance of the victims using AEPS.

Hence it's not always about carelessness of the account holder.

There are a few things to note here:
1. There are two types of fingerprint scanners - one uses a 2D image of your fingerprint and the other uses a 3D mapping of your fingerprint. Unfortunately, from the looks of it, AADHAR scanners seem to be the 2D (I cannot confirm, but that is what it looks like). So, theoretically, if you get access to the image of someone's fingerprint, you can access it. If UIDAI indeed uses a 2D scanner, it is quite unfortunate and speaks volumes for the sorry state of affairs in India. If they use a 3D scanner, it would be impossible to steal your fingerprint data by getting access to an image of your fingerprint.
2. Cloning fingerprints from papers in government offices is nearly impossible with the current tech. Note that these imprints are smudgy and not very high quality. It would be like asking someone to compare two photos, one is 4k and the other is 144p.
3. Biometric data validation is done by computers. So, ultimately, it boils down to 0s and 1s. Theoretically, it should be possible to hack UIDAI's database and get hold of our biometric info. However, I am sure UIDAI stores our biometric data in an encrypted format (hopefully using our passwords). Decrypting this could take years (even with the most powerful supercomputers) if you have a good password (the definition of a good password and what we think is a good password is quite different!). However, as these are government organizations, I would not be surprised if they do not encrypt our biometric data in their databases, or use our AADHAR numbers to encrypt the data.

Now when I try to make people aware of this, mujhe ulta gyaan dete hai how things cannot be hacked, blah blah blah
