Aadhaar card free online update deadline extended till September 14: how to do it?

Aadhaar card update: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended the deadline for updating Aadhaar card details for free. Users can now make changes without any cost till September 14, 2024.

Initially set until June 14, 2023, after UIDAI had announced a three-month free Aadhaar update drive in March. Since then, the deadline has been extended several times.

The campaign targets citizens who received their Aadhaar a decade ago and have not yet updated it. Aadhaar holders can take advantage of this opportunity by updating their proof of identity and address on the myAadhaar portal. The standard fee for updating Aadhaar at physical centres is ₹50.
