If OTP was shared on phone to an unknown phone number and not at the branch, it may be risky. The content of the UPI payment request may indicate whether it was from IDFC or any 3rd party for fraudulent transaction. Some message directly from IDFC should come on registered mobile for credit card application and not just aadhar OTP.
The risk is that they can download a copy of your aadhar card using the OTP and may also change demographic details online
He is not idfc. Customer. His que is his money not deducted till now. Can they by any mean deduct later without otp

Ask him to transfer his balance to another account.
dont worry otp only valid for 10 min and he must have received a email from aadhar in it will show IDFC Bank

Aadhaar OTP is only for UIDAI site, not for banking transactions. If the payment request he accepted would have been successful then their may have been a bigger risk of validation of automatic mandate for future deductions. Try to share details of the sms received for UPI payment. Whether it was from IDFC or not?
sharing aadhar otp without knowing the cause might be very risky, someone might create some loan/account and do fraud from that and you will be liable.
Or someone can use that otp to be you, since aadhar otp is basically giving Authorization as you. As you (with aadhar otp), nowadays someone can access anything digital or physical belonging to you (like bank account, money debit, take loan, or anything more serious)
Never ever never share otp, especially aadhar otp to anyone without knowing the actual reason of that otp generation.

There is nothing free in this world, in case of free cibil the cost paid is in the form of your data which you consent to be used by whichever provider/service/app you are getting free cibil score from. Of course if you don't care about this & don't want real time updates in your cibil report then no issue.

It seems like you missed my point, I don't have any issue with "free cibil reports" but why paid cibil subscription is in every way better & worth the money you pay for it.

one score is also a good one see paying for cibil will never be justified in my books i dont know about you and i wont let anyone pay eather because it is bullcrap
get 2 sims coz sooner or later your number will be out regardless you pay for cibil or not. Your number will stay private if you dont give out i have done it for more then 2 years.
