With only 4 days left, ensure you avail of the government's free offer to update your Aadhaar details, or pay hiked prices after Tuesday.

Get ready to update your Aadhaar details for free because come Tuesday, you will have to pay for any changes you wish to make to your identity proof and address. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is giving residents a final chance to update their information for free. This includes essential details such as proof of identity and proof of address.

The deadline to enjoy the free update service ends on Tuesday, December 31, 2019. So if you want to update any information, from your name to address to mobile number, do it now without having to pay any fees. Those who fail to update their information before the deadline will have to pay a fee of Rs. 50 each for every update they wish to make.

This development comes after the Supreme Court recently ruled that Aadhaar cards are not mandatory for bank accounts and mobile phone connections. The court, however, asserted that the uniqueness of the 12-digit number will help ensure exposure to fraud and fake accounts in such situations.

The government, earlier this year, had also extended the deadline for linking Aadhaar to bank accounts and mobile phones to March 31, 2023. But given the recent threat to data security involving the personal information of over 1 billion Aadhaar holders, the UIDAI is pushing for individuals to update their information as soon as possible.

This move is also likely in response to recent concerns about the safety of the biometric data stored in the Aadhaar database, which was compromised by a major data leak, putting the identities of millions at risk.

So, if you have been planning to update your details, this is probably your last chance to do so for free. For more details, you can visit the official website of UIDAI.
