Aadhaar New Rule: A major relief has come for Aadhaar card holders. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced several new rules to make the Aadhaar update process faster, easier, and completely digital.

These new rules will come into effect from November 1, 2025. Under this, people will now be able to update information such as their name, address, date of birth, and mobile number online from the comfort of their homes. For this, they will no longer need to stand in long queues at Aadhaar service centers.

UIDAI says that the purpose of these changes is to make Aadhaar services more secure, user-friendly, and time-saving.

What will change?

1. Online Aadhaar Update Facility

Until now, people had to visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra for any corrections or changes. However, with the new system, the entire process can be completed online by visiting the UIDAI portal. Users’ submitted information will be digitally verified using government documents such as their PAN card, passport, driving license, or ration card. This will make the process both faster and more reliable.

2. New Aadhaar-PAN Linking Deadline

According to UIDAI’s new guidelines, Aadhaar-PAN linking has been made mandatory for all PAN holders. The deadline for this is December 31, 2025. If this deadline is missed, the PAN card will be deactivated from January 1, 2026. This will impact tax and other financial transactions. Additionally, those who obtain a new PAN card will now be required to complete Aadhaar-based verification.

3. Digital KYC is now completely paperless

UIDAI has also digitized the KYC process for banks and financial institutions. Customers will now be able to complete their KYC through three methods: Aadhaar OTP-based verification, video KYC, and in-person verification (optional). This new system will complete the account opening and identity verification process in just a few minutes.

4. Aadhaar update fees also changed

• UIDAI has also announced a new fee structure for Aadhaar services.
•  The fee for updating name, address, or mobile number will now be ₹75.
•  The fee for biometric updates (fingerprint, iris, or photo) has been increased to ₹125.
•  Biometric updates are completely free for children (5–7 years and 15–17 years).
•  Online document updates are also free until June 14, 2026.
•  After June 14, 2026, the update fee will remain ₹75.
•  The fee for Aadhaar reprints will remain ₹40.
•  The fee for home enrollment services will be ₹700 (for the first person) and ₹350 (for the second person at the same address).

UIDAI’s Message

UIDAI officials stated that this digital-first approach will give citizens the freedom to manage their Aadhaar-related information and make services more transparent. However, they warned that the Aadhaar-PAN linking deadline is crucial. Failure to meet it could lead to serious difficulties in financial transactions and tax-related matters.

According to an official statement issued by the government, this process will be made available under the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) prescribed for Aadhaar authentication through the ‘Aadhaar Good Governance’ portal launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

Steps taken for good governance and ease of living: Government

The ‘Aadhaar Good Governance’ portal was launched by S Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, in the presence of UIDAI CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar and NIC Director General Indra Pal Singh Sethi. Krishnan said that the launch of this platform is expected to accelerate the process of adding more use cases in the field of good governance and ease of living.

According to the statement, this portal will act as a resource-rich guide and will provide detailed SOPs for application procedure and Aadhaar authentication to the entities seeking authentication. The facility of ensuring identification through face can also be integrated in the customer app of private entities, which will enable authentication anytime, anywhere.

The ministry has introduced this portal to streamline the approval process for Aadhaar authentication requests. This will follow the amendment restoring access to the unique identity verification mechanism for private entities. According to the official statement, the increased scope of Aadhaar authentication is expected to make life easier and facilitate hassle-free access to new services of your choice.

The rules were changed on 31 January

The online platform has come into effect after the Aadhaar authentication for Good Governance (Social Welfare, Innovation, Knowledge) Amendment Rules, 2025 under the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016, the statement said. The government on January 31 notified an amendment to the Aadhaar Act to allow private entities to also use Aadhaar authentication to deliver their services.

The ministry said that the new amendment enables Aadhaar number holders to avail hassle-free services from many sectors including hospitality, healthcare, credit rating bureaus, e-commerce players, educational institutions and aggregator service providers. Apart from this, service providers will also find it helpful for many things including employee attendance, adding customers, e-KYC verification, exam registration etc.
