Aadhaar Update Deadline
Don’t Miss Your Chance to Update for Free!
If you're an Aadhaar card holder, it’s crucial to stay ahead of the required updates to your identity and address documents. According to the Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Regulations, 2016, every individual with an Aadhaar card is required to update their Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) documents every ten years from the original Aadhaar enrollment date. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has been urging people to complete this update, especially if they haven’t done so in the past decade. Regular updates ensure the accuracy of your demographic information and help fight Aadhaar-related fraud.
The Deadline is Fast Approaching—Update for Free Before 14 December 2024!
The clock is ticking—14 December 2024 is the last day you can update your Aadhaar card documents for free online. After this date, you will be required to pay a fee for updates, whether done online or at an Aadhaar center. If you haven’t updated your documents in the last ten years, now is the perfect time to do it and avoid unnecessary charges.
Why You Should Update Your Aadhaar Details
The UIDAI has made it clear that updating your Aadhaar details is vital in maintaining accurate and reliable demographic information. Not only does it ensure your Aadhaar card reflects your current identity and address, but it also significantly reduces the risks of fraud. By keeping your Aadhaar updated, you are helping improve the security and authenticity of the system.
How the Free Aadhaar Update Works
Originally, the deadline for free Aadhaar updates was 14 March 2024, but this has been extended twice: first to 14 September 2024, and now, it’s been extended once more to 14 December 2024. This is your chance to update your Aadhaar card without incurring any fees, so take advantage of it before the free service ends.
The Costs After the Deadline
If you miss the deadline, you will have to pay a fee of ₹25 for online updates through the myAadhaar portal. If you opt to update your Aadhaar at a physical Aadhaar center, the fee will be ₹50. Thus, updating your Aadhaar details online before 14 December 2024 is the most cost-effective option.
What Happens if You Don’t Update Your Aadhaar?
The UIDAI has stressed that Aadhaar card holders must update their identity and address proof documents as part of the ongoing effort to curb fraud. If you don’t update your documents by 14 December 2024, you will be required to do so by paying a fee—₹25 online or ₹50 offline. This could lead to delays or complications in accessing government services, so it’s best to avoid the hassle and update your Aadhaar details ahead of time.
