The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced that Aadhaar holders who have not updated their details in the last 10 years can do so for free until December 14. This initiative aims to ensure the accuracy of demographic information and prevent Aadhaar-related fraud. The update process can be done online at the official UIDAI website, and certain demographic details can be updated without any cost until the specified date. Additionally, Aadhaar card holders can update their demographic data, including name, address, date of birth, gender, phone number, and email, at no cost during this period. However, if they need to update their iris, photo, or other biometric information, they will need to physically visit an Aadhaar enrollment centre and pay the required fee.
