The Free Update Deadline Approaches
The deadline set by the Center for updating Aadhaar details for free is coming up soon. The ‘Unique Identification Authority of India’ (UIDAI) under the Central Government has given people the chance to update their details without any cost since March 15.
Multiple Deadline Extensions
The given deadline has been extended multiple times. The process will finally conclude on September 14, 2023. So, if you need to change your name, date of birth, or address on your Aadhaar card, you can do it online without any charge until this date. Once this free period ends, you will need to pay Rs. 50 at specific centers to update your Aadhaar information.
