The Aadhaar card, a vital document for Indian citizens, plays a crucial role in accessing government schemes and services.
An important update regarding Aadhaar card maintenance has been announced by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
Individuals who wish to make updates to their Aadhaar cards can do so without incurring any charges until September 14.
After this date, there will be fees associated with updating your Aadhaar details. This extension was granted after the initial deadline of June 14, 2023.
Aadhaar: A Lifelong Asset:
Aadhaar enrollment is a free service available to all residents of India, providing each individual with a unique, lifelong Aadhaar number.
This number is essential for accessing various services, including banking, mobile phone connections, and both government and non-government programs.
