Last year, the Unique Identification Authority of India, also known as UIDAI, announced that Aadhaar cardholders will be able to update their information for free until June 14, 2025.

According to the Aadhaar Enrolment and Update regulations, 2016, it is mandatory for individuals to update their proof of identity and proof of address every 10 years from their Aadhaar enrolment date. After the deadline, Aadhaar updates won’t be free, and cardholders will have to mark their presence at physical Aadhaar centres to update their information.

If you haven’t updated your Aadhaar card details in the last decade, here’s how to avoid the Rs 50 standard fee and do it for free via the myAadhaar portal. The process is pretty straightforward and lets you quickly update your information without having to go to a physical centre.

5. Once done, review and submit your documents to get a Service Request Number (SRN), which helps track the update progress of your request.
