Aadhaar card update: Ministry urges users to update UIDAI details; check how to do it online

In a bid to control Aadhar-related fraud and scams, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology encourages updating the Aadhar card every ten years.

The ministry has in many official notifications issued the advisory to update demographic details like name, DoB, gender, and address. And, now the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) urges the same through pop-up notifications on the website.

The UIDAI has said that updating Aadhar would 'enhance the ease of living'. Though not mandatory, the department strongly advises to update the Aadhar cards that may be issued over 10 years ago.

As per Income-tax Act, 1961, it is mandatory for all PAN holders, who do not come under the exempt category, to link their PAN with Aadhaar before 31.3.2023.
From 1.4.2023, the unlinked PAN shall become inoperative. Link it before it’s too late.
