New Delhi, April 18 (Daily Kiran): The Unique Identification Authority of India has issued an important update for Aadhaar card holders, especially those who have not updated their details in the last 10 years. The authority is currently offering a special facility to update Aadhaar documents online free of cost, but only for a limited period.
According to UIDAI, the free online document update service is available until June 14. After this deadline, users will have to pay a prescribed fee for updating their Aadhaar details.
Updating Aadhaar details is considered important as personal information such as address or other identification details may change over time. Keeping Aadhaar data updated ensures uninterrupted access to government subsidies and schemes. It also helps in smooth completion of bank KYC (Know Your Customer) processes and makes SIM card or other verification services easier.
The update process can be completed from home using a mobile phone or laptop. Users need to visit the official myAadhaar portal, log in using their Aadhaar number and OTP received on the registered mobile number, and select the ‘Document Update’ option. After verifying existing details like name, address, and date of birth, users can upload valid Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA) documents such as Voter ID, PAN card, or Ration Card. Once submitted, a Service Request Number (SRN) is generated to track the update status.
UIDAI has advised users to ensure that the name on uploaded documents exactly matches the Aadhaar details. The documents should be clear and uploaded in JPEG, PNG, or PDF format, with a file size not exceeding 2MB.
It is important to note that the free update facility is available only through the online portal. Updates done at Aadhaar centres may attract charges.
Users are advised not to wait until the last date to avoid inconvenience due to possible server load or delays. Updating Aadhaar in time can help prevent issues related to banking and government services.
