🌐 Aadhaar New Rules From November 1, 2025
Aadhaar New Rules From November 1, 2025 : The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced three major changes to Aadhaar services, effective from November 1, 2025. These updates affect every Indian who uses Aadhaar for verification, government schemes, or banking.
From revised update charges to mandatory re-verification, UIDAI’s latest move focuses on better security, transparency, and accuracy in the country’s digital identity system.
Let’s break down the new rules, understand what’s changing, and learn how to update your Aadhaar smoothly—both online and offline.
🔹 1. Revised Aadhaar Update Fees
Starting November 1, the cost of updating Aadhaar details will change.
| Type of Update | Previous Fee | New Fee (From Nov 1) |
|---|---|---|
| Demographic Update (Name, Address, DOB, etc.) | ₹50 | ₹100 |
| Biometric Update (Photo, Fingerprint, Iris) | ₹100 | ₹150 |
| Online Update via myAadhaar Portal | Free (until Sep 2025) | ₹50 (incl. GST) |
Why this matters: UIDAI had allowed free online updates for several months to encourage citizens to verify and refresh their Aadhaar data. With that window closed, the paid system ensures better control and data accountability.
🔹 2. Free Update Window Ends
The free Aadhaar document update service, which was available on the myAadhaar portal until September 30, 2025, has officially ended.
Now, users must pay ₹50 (including GST) to update documents such as:
- Proof of Identity (POI)
- Proof of Address (POA)
- Date of Birth certificate, etc.
UIDAI clarified that this nominal charge helps maintain system efficiency and supports paperless digital services without overburdening physical centres.
🔹 3. Mandatory Aadhaar Verification for Linked Accounts
UIDAI has now made it mandatory for banks, telecom providers, and government agencies to re-verify Aadhaar-linked accounts.
This step will:
- Reduce identity fraud and inactive linkages
- Strengthen KYC norms across sectors
- Help agencies maintain updated user records
Users may receive notifications or SMS alerts from service providers requesting re-verification through OTP or biometric confirmation.
🧾 Why UIDAI Changed the Rules
UIDAI’s new framework supports the Digital India mission, emphasizing accuracy, security, and convenience. With nearly 1.3 billion Aadhaar holders, periodic verification ensures that the database remains reliable and future-ready.
“Aadhaar isn’t just an ID—it’s India’s digital identity backbone. These updates make it safer and smarter for both citizens and service providers.”
