Why Updating Aadhaar Matters (And Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It)
Aadhaar isn’t just a number. It’s your identity in the system—used for government benefits, bank accounts, SIM cards, and more.
If the info is wrong?
You could face problems like:
- Rejected subsidy claims
- Trouble verifying your bank account
- Issues with passport or PAN card linking
- Delays in job or loan applications
And worst of all? You might not even realize it until it’s too late.
That’s why the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is urging people to update their Aadhaar—for free until June 14 on the myAadhaar portal.
What’s the Deadline for Free Aadhaar Updates?
June 14, 2025 is the last day to update your identity and address proof online without paying anything.
After this, whether you update through the website or by visiting an Aadhaar centre, you’ll have to pay ₹50.
So, why not save the money and update it now from your phone or laptop?
