Last Chance to Update Aadhaar for Free: Deadline Approaching

In a significant update for Aadhaar cardholders, the deadline for availing of free Aadhaar updates is fast approaching. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has set March 14, 2024, as the final date for individuals to update their Aadhaar details without incurring any charges.

The move comes as part of UIDAI’s efforts to enhance the security and accuracy of Aadhaar information, particularly for cards that are a decade old or older. With the deadline just around the corner, individuals are urged to take advantage of this opportunity before the window closes. Until March 14, citizens can conveniently update their demographic information such as name, mobile number, gender, address, pin code, and more online, without any cost implications. However, it’s important to note that updating details at an Aadhaar Center will entail applicable fees.

The process for availing of this free update facility is simple and can be completed through the official UIDAI website.
