The government has extended the deadline for updating Aadhaar details free of charge until June 14, 2024, providing relief to millions of Aadhaar holders. This extension, announced by UIDAI on social media, aims to encourage individuals to keep their Aadhaar documents updated for better service delivery.
Aadhaar, a 12-digit unique identity number, is issued to Indian residents based on their biometric and demographic information. This unique identifier plays a crucial role in preventing duplicate numbers and detecting fake identities, ensuring the integrity of the Aadhaar system.
Update for Aadhaar Issued Over 10 Years Ago
For individuals whose Aadhaar cards were issued more than a decade ago and have not been updated since, UIDAI advises submitting Proof of Identity and Proof of Address documents to revalidate demographic information. This step ensures smoother service delivery and authentication processes.
