Written By DNA Web Team | Updated: Aug 03, 2023, 03:24 PM IST

People can update their Aadhaar documents at no cost until September 30, as against the previous deadline of June 14.

The Aadhaar card is the most important form of identification in India. Bank accounts, participation in most government initiatives, and other activities all require an Aadhaar. To avoid any problems, it is essential to maintain the information on this page up to date.

To ensure the accuracy of their data, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has recommended all individuals with Aadhaar numbers update their supporting documentation in Aadhaar at least once every 10 years from the date of enrollment. Additionally, UIDAI has made the free updating of Aadhaar Card documentation available to internet users for this reason. 

The service is an extension of UIDAI's free updation of Aadhaar Card documents. As opposed to the prior deadline of June 14, aadhaar card users can now update their Aadhaar documents for free until September 30.

Only the portal -- myAadhaar offers the free service. However, a fee of Rs 50 would still be charged if you opt to visit physical Aadhaar centres.
