Aadhar card has now become an important part of our life. It is necessary for everything from banking, education to taking advantage of government schemes. In such a situation, if there is any mistake in the name or address in the Aadhar card, then a problem occurs. This mistake is especially seen in old Aadhaar cards.

In view of this, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the government body issuing Aadhaar card, has now made online updation of Aadhaar free. Let us know for whom this free facility is available, for how long it will be available and how Aadhaar can be updated online.

When will Aadhaar be updated for free?

According to government rules, it is necessary to update the information of 10 year old Aadhar card. If you update the name or address in your 10 year old Aadhar card by March 14, you will not have to pay any fee. Usually, there is a fee of Rs 50 for updating each detail (demographic and biometric data) in Aadhaar. Even if you go offline and get this updated, you will have to pay the fees fixed by UIDAI.

UIDAI had earlier given the facility to update Aadhaar for free till December 14, 2023. Then it has been extended to March 14, 2024. This is a big relief for those whose Aadhaar card was made 10 years ago or they have not updated it since then.

For whom is the free update service?

Free Aadhaar updation is for those people whose Aadhaar card was made 10 years ago and no changes have been made in it. Such people can update information like name, address, date of birth, photo or mobile number for free. You can make some changes online sitting at home. But, biometric details like photo, iris and fingerprint will have to be updated by visiting Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

You will not have to pay any charge for making necessary changes in your Aadhaar. Only supporting documents will be required. Such as ID and address proof.

Aadhaar card, which is used as the main document in more than 1100 central and state level schemes, is also the main document of citizen identity. In such a situation, it is very important to have the details present in the Aadhaar card accurate.

If this does not happen, many types of work including financial transactions of the Aadhaar user can stop. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has started a free service to keep all the details correct in Aadhaar and to keep Aadhaar updated. Through this service, Aadhaar users can update or add any of their details without any charges.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI Updates) asks Aadhaar users to verify and update their Aadhaar information from time to time. In the past months, the authority had also issued verification instructions in relation to those people, whose Aadhaar has been made for 10 years. To give relief to such users, the authority has removed the fee applicable for updating Aadhaar details and made Aadhaar service free.

To help the citizens, the Aadhaar Authority had issued a directive on 15 March 2023 to make the online update service of documents in Aadhaar free of cost for a few months. According to the authority, Aadhaar users can update their details till June 14, 2023 without paying any fee. The benefit of free service will be available only through online mode, while for updating offline details, a fixed fee of Rs 50 will have to be paid.
