my brother gave aadhar otp online to some bank staff for idfc wow credit card application. they said 10000 fd has to be made from his hdfc bank account and they asked him to share his upi id. then he got payment request . he proceeded but payment failed. he stopped process.
they came to his office for credit card. not sure whether they were bank staff or not.
now he fear that any misuse can be done due to aadhar details , pan card details shared on whatsapp to them.
do otp given could still harm now.
what should he do avoid any fraud or misuse. pls help

is there any way to check cibil statement regularly without paying
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
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.
sab bol ke thak gaye dont share otp but people still share it
online fraud is the biggest issue as on date even more than rocky was😄
nothing to worry, ask him to lock biometrics
keep a watch on cibil, any new SMS, email related to account opening etc
move hdfc balance elsewhere for few days
