Aadhaar cards update tomorrow is not last date: Fake news circulated social media.

Aadhaar cards free online update last date is tomorrow. After that you need pay Rs 50 for update. In social media news is circulating that tomorrow is last date for Aadhaar update. But it is fake news, only free Aadhaar update last date is tomorrow.

According to a Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) update issued on March 16, 2023, the free update can be done online at https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in. For the update at CSC, the cardholders will be charged Rs 50. The free service is only available for the updating of demographic data, i.e name, address, DoB, gender, mobile number, email ids.

According to the UIDAI tweet: “Keep Demographic Details Updated to Strengthen Your Aadhaar. If your Aadhaar had been issued 10 years ago & had never been updated – you may now upload Proof of Identity & Proof of Address documents online at https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in ‘FREE OF COST’ from 15 March – June 14, 2023.”

The UIDAI said: “The free service is available for the next three months, i.e., March 15 to June 14, 2023. It is important to note that this service is free only on the myAadhaar portal and will continue to attract a fee of Rs 50 at physical Aadhaar centres, as in the case earlier.”

If someone wants to update their photograph, iris or other biometric details, they will still have to visit the Aadhaar enrollment centre and pay the required fee for the update.
