Aadhaar update deadline extended

UIDAI Extends Free Aadhaar Update Deadline Till September 14, 2024

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced an extension for the free update of Aadhaar details, with the new deadline set for September 14, 2024. This extension provides precious time for residents to ensure their Aadhaar information is up-to-date without incurring any fees, as post-deadline updates will be charged. With Aadhaar being the foundation for identity verification in India, keeping your details accurate and current is crucial for accessing various services and benefits.

Extension Of The Free Aadhaar Update Deadline

The UIDAI’s decision to extend the deadline for free Aadhaar updates until September 14, 2024, is a significant relief for millions of citizens. Initially set to expire earlier, the deadline has been extended to provide adequate time for individuals to update their biometric and demographic details. The extension is particularly important for those who may have had their Aadhaar issued more than ten years ago and have not updated their details since.

The free update applies to updates made through the myAadhaar portal, while updates made at Aadhaar centres will incur a fee of ₹50 after the deadline. This extension is also a response to the growing need for accurate data, especially as Aadhaar is increasingly being used for financial transactions and other sensitive operations.

The Importance Of Updating Aadhaar

Aadhaar, a 12-digit unique identity number issued by the UIDAI, is linked to various government schemes, banking services, and even mobile connections. Therefore, having accurate details in your Aadhaar profile is essential to avoid any interruptions in accessing these services. The UIDAI periodically requires updates to biometric and demographic details to maintain the integrity of the Aadhaar database.

Updating Aadhaar details is a straightforward process that can be done either online or offline. Here’s how you can update your information:
