UIDAI announced this update on social media platform X, informing users that they can continue to update their Aadhaar cards for free.
New Deadline for Free Update
The previous deadline for free Aadhaar updates was September 14, 2024. This has now been extended by three months, so you can avail of this service until December 14, 2024.
