This free service is available only on the myAadhaar portal. If you visit an Aadhaar centre, you will still have to pay a fee of Rs 50.
The update applies to people whose Aadhaar card is more than 10 years old and has not been updated during this time. Users can upload documents for proof of identity and address, such as PAN card or voter ID.
Updating Aadhaar details is important to avoid issues in future. Correct information helps in getting government schemes, completing bank KYC and using services like SIM verification without any problem.
The process is simple and can be done from home. Users need to log in to the myAadhaar portal using their Aadhaar number and OTP. Then select the document update option, upload scanned copies and submit the request. A service request number is generated for tracking.
If you miss the deadline, you will have to pay a fee for updating documents later.
There is also an update related to children. Aadhaar cards for kids under 5 years are known as Bal Aadhaar. Parents can easily apply for it with basic documents like a birth certificate or hospital slip.
For a child’s Aadhaar, one parent’s Aadhaar is mandatory as it is linked to it. Address proof is also required during the process.
With the deadline approaching, users are advised to complete their Aadhaar update on time to avoid extra charges later.
