Individuals with an Aadhaar number linked to a bank account, termed as an Aadhaar Enabled Bank Account (AEBA), can make use of the AePS service.
Individuals can update their demographic information on the Aadhaar card
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has recently announced that they have extended the date to update the Aadhaar Card details online. The date has been extended to June 14 for people to update their details, like proof of identity and address, for free. This suggests that Indian residents have just 10 days left to update their Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA) documents.
This free service to update the details can only be accessed on the myAadhaar portal. If a user is not able to update the details until June 14, then they will have to pay Rs 50. The amount will remain the same if the changes and documents are submitted physically.
As per the Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Regulations, 2016, Indian residents are required to update their POI and POA documents every ten years from their Aadhaar enrollment date. This change also applies to updating a child’s biometric details on their Blue Aadhaar card at ages 5 and 15.
Individuals can update their demographic information on the Aadhaar card such as Name, Address, Date of Birth/Age, Gender, Mobile Number, Email Address, Relationship Status and Information Sharing Consent for free online.
