UIDAI enables free online Aadhaar updates till December 14, allowing residents to modify demographic details. Regular updates of Aadhaar details every 10 years is mandatory to ensure data accuracy and prevent fraud.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has waived the standard Rs. 50 fee for online Aadhaar updates until December 14. Indian citizens can use the web site to update or change their demographic data, including name, address, date of birth, gender, phone number, and email, at no cost during this time.

Though changing all of your Aadhaar's demographic information is free and can be done online, you still need to visit an Aadhaar enrollment centre in person and pay the appropriate price if you need to change your photo, iris, or other biometric information.

This requirement is due to the fact that biometric updates require the use of specialized equipment at enrollment centers to scan fingerprints, iris patterns, and other biometric data. In order to stop any fraudulent activity, the biometric update process also contains the essential verification steps.
