Aadhaar online update: Less than 10 days left to change Aadhaar details for free; how to update online

If you need to update your Aadhaar details, now is the time. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has set a deadline for free updates. You have until June 14, 2024, to update your Proof of Identity and Proof of Address for free. After this date, any updates will incur a fee.

If you miss the deadline, you will have to pay Rs 50 to upload the necessary documents, whether you do it online or in person. Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number assigned to Indian residents based on their biometric and demographic information.

This system helps prevent duplicate and fake identities, ensuring that each person has a unique number linked to their biometrics. The UIDAI encourages all Aadhaar holders to update their information if it hasn't been updated in the last 10 years. This ensures better service delivery and accurate authentication.
