It is a 12 digit unique identity number, which ensures the identity of a person. Aadhaar number is very important to avail government facilities and banking facilities.
According to the rules, individuals have to update their Aadhaar card every 10 years. Apart from this, child Aadhaar i.e. Aadhaar of children is updated between 5 years to 15 years. The last date for Aadhaar update will end on June 14.

Who needs to update Aadhaar?
It is important to keep in mind here that updating the Aadhaar card is most important for those who have not updated their Aadhaar card in the last 10 years .
