Bro,

You need to update Aadhaar via Enrolment Agency by submitting this document.
You can also update via online by using both (Page 9 and Page 10).

For online updation,mobile number must be registered.Login through Aadhaar Registered Mobile Number is the only option now.

    Sometimes it is very hard for some people like my mother, every Bill is either on my name or my father's. Bank account has her old address. Now we have shifted to our own flat. So very difficult to change her address. Previously there used to be address change via other residing person but now it is not showing that option.

    Any other way, heard of some post office letter thing but don't have full knowledge of it.

      Bro,


      This feature is Document Update.Don't get confused with this "update" word.It's actually uploading your POI(Proof of Identity) and POA(Proof of Address) to your account. This feature is free till June 14.


      For normal updation online,you need to pay 50+.

      Whether Linking of PAN and Aadhaar mandatory for Minor who is holding a PAN & Aadhaar?

      Every user having a valid PAN and Aadhaar is required to link its Aadhaar with PAN unless they are covered under exempt category
      • Residing in the States of Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, and Meghalaya;
      • a non-resident as per the Income-tax Act, 1961;
      • of the age of eighty years or more at any time during the previous year; or
      • not a citizen of India.
      For new PAN CARD, you have to submit aadhar card.

      Seems futile to not highlight the exclusion clause upfront.

      That the free of cost update is only available for those UIDAI ID cards which were first issued prior to 2014 (issued till about the end of 2013).

      Yes, missed the time once it was free. Last year also they charged 500?

      I think a month back it was free, right?
