The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) in March announced that Indian residents could update their Aadhaar cards online for free until June 14, 2023.

The free service, which started on March 14, was available for three months and ended on June 14. The service will continue to attract a fee of Rs 50, starting from June 15.

The 12-digit unique biometric identification Aadhaar number is issued to every resident of India. The process of updating details involves uploading Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) documents.

The UIDAI has been urging people to update demographic details, especially if the card was issued 10 years ago. Updated information will improve service delivery and has an enhanced authentication success rate, it says.

Visit the UIDAI website: https://uidai.gov.in/ and go to "My Aadhaar" service portal. Under the "Update your Aadhaar" section, select "update demographics data".
