Starting November 1, the way you update your Aadhaar card has become simpler, faster, and more digital. Whether it’s your name, address, date of birth, or mobile number, most changes can now be made online from the comfort of your home—no more standing in long queues. At aitopsite.com, we’ve broken down the new rules, fees, deadlines, and step-by-step guidance so you can stay compliant and stress-free.
Online Updates: Now Possible for Key Details
Good news for millions of Aadhaar holders: demographic updates such as:
- Name
- Address
- Date of Birth (DOB)
- Mobile Number
can now be done entirely online through the official myAadhaar portal. All you need is an active mobile number registered with your Aadhaar to receive the One-Time Password (OTP) for verification.
Pro Tip: If your registered mobile number is lost or inactive, visit an Aadhaar center first to update it—online changes won’t be possible without OTP access.
Biometric Updates Still Require In-Person Visit
While text-based details go digital, biometric updates remain physical for security reasons. This includes:
- Fingerprints
- Iris scans
- Photograph
You’ll need to visit an Aadhaar Enrollment Center or an authorized post office offering Aadhaar services. This ensures identity integrity and prevents fraud.
Updated Fee Structure: What You’ll Pay
The government has introduced a clear and affordable fee system:
| Update Type | Current Fee | After June 14, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Demographic (Name, Address, DOB, Mobile) | ₹75 | ₹75 |
| Biometric (Fingerprint, Iris, Photo) | FREE | ₹125 |
Act now: Biometric updates are free until June 14, 2026—a perfect window to refresh old photos or fingerprints without any cost.
Critical Deadline: Link Aadhaar with PAN by December 31, 2025
One of the most important updates: all PAN cards must be linked with Aadhaar by December 31, 2025.
Consequence of missing the deadline:
- Your PAN card will be deactivated from January 1, 2026
- You won’t be able to file income tax returns
- Bank transactions above certain limits may be blocked
- TDS/TCS will be deducted at higher rates
Don’t wait—link your PAN and Aadhaar today via the Income Tax e-filing portal or SMS.

Why These Changes Matter
The new rules reflect India’s push toward Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)—making essential services accessible, secure, and efficient. By allowing online demographic updates, the government reduces physical footfall at centers while maintaining strict biometric security.
Keeping your Aadhaar updated ensures uninterrupted access to:
- Government subsidies (LPG, scholarships, pensions)
- Banking and KYC services
- Tax compliance
- Mobile SIM activation
No Need to Panic—Just Stay Prepared
These changes are user-friendly, not alarming. There’s no mass re-verification or mandatory re-enrollment. Simply:
- Keep your registered mobile number active
- Update details before deadlines
- Link PAN-Aadhaar before Dec 31, 2025
