In a recent announcement, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline for updating Aadhaar card details online for free until March 14. The decision comes in response to the positive feedback received from residents, and the UIDAI aims to facilitate a hassle-free process for individuals to keep their information current.
Residents can update details such as name, address, and other demographic changes through the myAadhaar portal without incurring any charges until the specified deadline. For those preferring a physical update, Common Services Centres (CSC) offer the same service for a nominal fee of ₹50.
The Aadhaar body is also urging individuals whose Aadhaar cards were issued a decade ago and have not been updated since to upload Proof of Identity and Proof of Address (PoI/PoA) documents. This step is crucial to revalidate demographic details.
