Aadhaar update deadline: The government recommends that Aadhaar holders update their details every 10 years to keep the Aadhaar database accurate and ensure better service. People should update their information whenever they receive a notice about document updates. It’s also a good idea to regularly update personal and address details to keep benefiting from the Aadhaar system.
Aadhaar update deadline and charges
Aadhaar cardholders can update their details for free online through the myAadhaar portal until December 14, 2024. After this deadline, offline updates at Aadhaar centers will incur a fee. It’s advisable to complete any updates before this date to avoid additional charges.
