Aadhaar card update: Aadhaar holders whose cards were issued more than 10 years ago and have not been updated since will need to provide proof of identity and address for revalidation. The deadline for updating these details is set for September 14, 2024. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has said that those who miss the deadline will be charged a Rs 50 fee for any updates made after the cut-off date. 

Aadhaar authentication involves submitting the Aadhaar number along with demographic or biometric details to UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) for verification. UIDAI then checks and confirms the details based on the data stored in their system.
