The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced an extension of the deadline for individuals to update their Aadhaar card details for free. Initially set for June 14, 2024, this deadline has now been pushed forward to September 14, 2024. This decision comes as a relief to citizens, granting them additional time to review and make necessary adjustments to their biometric and demographic data to ensure its accuracy.
