You have four days to update your Aadhaar details for free: All the details

In September 2023, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) announced a three-month extension of the complimentary Aadhaar update service, spanning from September 14 to December 14, 2023. It is essential to note that this free service is exclusively available on the myAadhaar portal. If you opt to visit an Aadhaar center for the update, a service fee of Rs 50 will be applicable. Now, you have just a week left to update your Aadhaar details for free.

“Based on the positive response from the residents, it is decided to extend the facility for three more months i.e. from 15.09.2023 to 14.12.2023. Accordingly, the facility for document update shall continue free of cost through myAadhaar portal up to 14.12.2023,” UIDAI had said in a memorandum.
