Aadhaar update: If your Aadhaar card was issued a decade ago and hasn’t been updated since, now is the time to act. The deadline for updating your Aadhaar card is September 14. To ensure your Aadhaar details are current, you will need to provide proof of identity and proof of address. After this deadline, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will impose a ₹50 fine for any updates made late. Aadhaar authentication involves submitting your Aadhaar number along with demographic or biometric details to UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR). UIDAI will then verify the accuracy of your information against its records. Don’t miss this opportunity to keep your Aadhaar information up-to-date and avoid additional charges.
