Warning On Aadhar Data Sharing
Remember, your Aadhaar, that 12-digit unique number, is your key to accessing government services and securely conducting financial transactions. By keeping your Aadhaar information updated, you’re doing your bit to keep the system current. Plus, it helps to prevent any duplicity and stops fraudulent activities in their tracks.
How To Update Aadhar
All Aadhaar card holders can make changes to their Aadhaar card, if required, until June 14. To update your Aadhaar details online, you can visit the UIDAI website at https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/portal. You will need to provide your Aadhaar number and other required information.
In the official document issued by the UIDAI, it earlier said, “In order to encourage more residents to update their documents in Aadhaar, it was decided to provide the provision to update their documents in Aadhaar through the MyAadhaar portal free of charge up to September 14.” But as per the recent update, it’s been extended to June 14, 2023.
Why Is Aadhar Updation Required?
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has been requesting all residents to update their Aadhaar cards, especially if the Aadhar cards were issued 10 years ago and have not been updated after that. The UIDAI update is to ensure that the demographic details on the Aadhaar card are accurate and up-to-date. Moreover, accurate demographic details help to improve service delivery and enhance the success rate of authentication.
