UIDAI Launches Fee-Free Aadhaar Email Update Until December 31, 2026 The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced a new initiative to simplify the process of updating or adding an email address linked to an Aadhaar card. This feature, now available in the Aadhaar App, allows users to modify their email details without visiting physical Seva Kendras, the government-run service centers. Additionally, the UIDAI has waived the ₹75 fee typically charged for such updates, making the process entirely free for users until December 31, 2026. The move aims to enhance the accessibility and security of Aadhaar services. By enabling email updates through the mobile application, UIDAI is addressing the growing demand for digital convenience. Users can now manage their Aadhaar accounts remotely, receiving important alerts and notifications about their personal information. This shift reduces the need for in-person interactions, aligning with broader efforts to promote digital governance. The initiative has already seen significant uptake. Within just two days of its launch, over 250,000 users have successfully updated their email addresses. This rapid response underscores the public’s interest in streamlining bureaucratic processes and taking greater control over their digital identities. UIDAI officials emphasized that the fee waiver is a temporary measure, valid until the end of 2026, to encourage widespread adoption of the new feature. The update is part of UIDAI’s ongoing strategy to modernize Aadhaar services and improve user experience. By eliminating the fee and simplifying the process, the authority is addressing common pain points, such as long wait times at physical centers and the cost associated with administrative tasks.#uidai #aadhaar_app #seva_kendras #uidai_officials #digital_governance
