Aadhaar Update: If you have not updated your Aadhaar card yet, then this news is of great use to you. The facility of updating Aadhaar card for free is about to end and only 9 days are left for this.

This is the last chance to take advantage of this free service, so it would be better to get your work done as soon as possible.
When and why did this free service start?
Actually, UIDAI had started a special facility for all its old Aadhaar cards which were about ten years old. Under this facility, people could get the wrong or old information of their Aadhaar card updated without any charge. Initially, the deadline for this facility was fixed long ago, but it was extended several times to give time to the people. Last time this date was extended from 14 December 2024 to 14 June 2025 so that everyone can take advantage of it. Now after this date this free service will end and a fee of Rs 50 will have to be paid for updating.
How to update Aadhaar and why is it necessary?
Aadhaar card is not just a number, but the most reliable document of your identity. Your biometric information is linked to it, which ensures that no one can create a fake or double identity. The government also provides the benefits of government schemes to the right people with the help of this Aadhaar. If your Aadhaar is not correct and updated, then you may have to be deprived of many important services and schemes. Therefore, it becomes very important to get Aadhaar updated.
You can update Aadhaar from home. By visiting the official website of UIDAI or myAadhaar portal, you can easily update information like your name, address, date of birth. For this, you have to enter your Aadhaar number and verify through OTP and upload the required documents. After sending the update request, you will also get a URN through an SMS, through which you can know the status of your request.
Now after free update, a fee will be charged
After June 14, if you want to update your Aadhaar information, then you will have to pay a charge of Rs 50 for this. For some updates like iris or biometric data update, you may also have to go to the Aadhaar center. Therefore, it would be better to get this facility done for free without paying any money.
So if your Aadhaar card is old or any information in it is not correct, then quickly go to the UIDAI website and get your Aadhaar updated. This is an important step for you, which will strengthen your digital identity and you will also get the benefit of government facilities easily. Remember, this service will not be free after June 14, so do not miss this opportunity.
