If you haven’t updated your Aadhaar card yet, you should know that the free update facility is available only until June 14, 2025. Last year, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) announced that Aadhaar cardholders could update their information free of cost before this deadline.
According to the Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Regulations, 2016, it is mandatory for individuals to update their Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) every 10 years from the date of enrolment.
What Happens After The Deadline?
You can still update your Aadhaar after the deadline, but it will require a payment. To take advantage of the free update, you must update your Aadhaar before the deadline- June 14. Additionally, individuals will need to visit an Aadhaar centre in person to update their information.
If you haven’t updated your Aadhaar details in the last 10 years, you can do it for free using the myAadhaar website. This way, you don’t have to pay the usual ₹50 fee or visit an Aadhaar centre. The online process is simple and quick.
