Extended Deadline for Free Aadhar Updates: Save the New Date!
Keeping your Aadhar information accurate ensures seamless access to both government and private services. Up-to-date details minimize the risk of mismatched information, which could lead to delays or denial of services.
The Aadhar card has emerged as a vital identification document in India, indispensable for accessing essential services. Whether it’s buying SIM cards, opening bank accounts, purchasing properties, or availing of government schemes and scholarships, Aadhar plays a pivotal role. However, with time, changes in facial features or addresses often lead to outdated information, creating hurdles for cardholders and officials alike.
To address these issues, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) provides periodic opportunities to update Aadhar details. Initially, the government had announced a deadline for free updates of Aadhar cards issued over 10 years ago, which was set to expire today. In a major relief for cardholders, UIDAI has now extended this deadline. Users can update their Aadhar details for free until June 14, 2025.
