Pay fine for updating your Aadhar after September 14. Click to know how you can update
The UIDAI has set a deadline of September 14 for individuals to ensure that their Aadhar information is both accurate and up to date. This article provides details regarding the deadline and the steps necessary for updating the document.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced that Aadhar cards issued more than ten years ago that have not been updated will need to undergo revalidation by September 14.
The update process is straightforward and can be completed in under 15 minutes from the comfort of your home.
There seems to be some misunderstanding regarding the consequences of not updating Aadhar by the specified date. It is important to clarify that an Aadhar card will not become invalid or unusable if it is not updated by the deadline. Even if your Aadhar is over ten years old, it will still function as a valid form of identification. The only change will be the cessation of the free update period.
After the September 14 deadline, individuals who fail to update their Aadhaar cards will face a penalty of ₹ 50 for any modifications.
Aadhar authentication plays a crucial role in confirming individuals’ demographic and biometric information by comparing it with the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) overseen by UIDAI.
