Earlier, the free update facility was scheduled to end on June 15, 2026. However, UIDAI has now extended the benefit through an official memorandum.
Where Can You Update Aadhaar for Free?The free Aadhaar update facility will be available only through the official myAadhaar Portal.
Users can update details such as:

No fee will be charged if these updates are completed online through the portal before the new deadline.
