Starting from November 1, several new government rules have come into effect that will directly impact ordinary citizens. Most of these changes are related to banking and Aadhaar.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced major updates to make Aadhaar services faster and more convenient.
Now, Aadhaar card holders can update their name, mobile number, date of birth, and address online without visiting any Aadhaar center.
These updates can be done anytime, from anywhere, through the MyAadhaar portal.
Changes in Aadhaar Fees and Linking Rules
Increase in Aadhaar Service Fees
UIDAI has revised the fees for Aadhaar-related updates:
Biometric updates (fingerprint, iris, or photo): ₹125 (previously ₹100)
Demographic updates (name, address, date of birth, mobile number, etc.): ₹75 (previously ₹50)
Aadhaar-PAN Linking Deadline
The government has set December 31, 2025, as the last date to link Aadhaar with PAN.
If you fail to link them by then, your PAN card will become inactive from January 1, 2026, preventing you from performing any PAN-related financial transactions.
Easier Aadhaar Updates from Home
Under the new rules, visiting an Aadhaar center is no longer required for making changes to demographic details.
All updates can be done online via the MyAadhaar portal, provided your Aadhaar is linked to an active mobile number for OTP verification.
