If your Aadhaar details are outdated or incorrect, now is the perfect time to update them without spending a single rupee. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has extended its limited-time free Aadhaar update offer till June 14, 2025. Normally, updating Aadhaar details online costs ₹50, but during this period, citizens can make select changes completely free of cost from the comfort of their home.

This initiative, which first started in 2023, aims to encourage citizens to keep their Aadhaar information accurate and up to date—especially as it is now a mandatory document for almost all financial and government services.

🆓 What Is This Free Aadhaar Update Scheme?

Under this limited-time initiative:

• Online updates for Aadhaar details are completely free

• The waiver is valid until June 14, 2025

• You don’t need to visit any Aadhaar center

• It applies only to select demographic details (no biometrics)

🔄 Why Should You Update Your Aadhaar?

According to UIDAI’s Aadhaar Enrollment and Update Regulations, 2016, every Aadhaar holder should update their Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) once every 10 years. Keeping your Aadhaar updated ensures:

• Smooth access to government welfare schemes

• Hassle-free banking and KYC procedures

• Avoidance of service denial due to outdated info

🖥️ What Details Can Be Updated for Free Online?

The free update facility is available for the following demographic information:

• ✅ Name (minor corrections)

• ✅ Date of Birth (within permissible age range)

• ✅ Address

• ✅ Gender

• ✅ Language preferences

🛑 Note: Biometric updates like fingerprints, iris scans, or photographs cannot be done online. For those, you will need to visit an Aadhaar Enrollment Center physically.
