Aadhaar Card: Government extends deadline for free updation of Aadhaar details

Earlier this year, UIDAI allowed citizens to update details in their Aadhaar card online free of cost. All holders of Aadhaar cards have the opportunity to modify any necessary information on their card. Initially, the free update deadline was set for June 14. Subsequently, the government extended this deadline to September 14. Now, for the second time, the government has further extended the complimentary online Aadhaar card update deadline. Citizens now have the liberty to update their Aadhaar card details for free until December 14.
The initiative is part of the Digital India wherein the UIDAI is urging residents to get the benefit of free document update facility on myAadhaar portal. The initiative is targeted at individuals who obtained their Aadhaar cards a decade ago and have not updated them since. To utilise this service, individuals must provide proof of identity and address through the official website. Typically, updating each detail on an Aadhaar card costs Rs 50. It’s important to emphasise that the cost-free updates are exclusively applicable to online modifications and are not accessible at physical Aadhaar centres.
Last date of free online updation
The UIDAI has specified that users can upload their identity and address proofs by December 14, 2023.
