UIDAI Waives Rs 75 Fee for Aadhaar Email Updates Starting 1 July 2026 The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced a significant change in its Aadhaar policy, effective from 1 July 2026. Under the new rules, Aadhaar cardholders will no longer have to pay a Rs 75 fee to update or add their email addresses to their Aadhaar records. This change will apply for the next six months, until December 2026, during which users can make free modifications to their email details through the UIDAI mobile app. Previously, individuals had to pay a Rs 75 charge to update their email addresses linked to their Aadhaar cards. The decision to waive this fee aims to encourage more people to link their email IDs with their Aadhaar records, thereby simplifying digital verification processes. UIDAI emphasized that this move aligns with the growing use of digital services, as linking an email address enables seamless OTP-based verification for online transactions, government services, and other digital platforms. The new policy allows users to update their email details directly via the UIDAI mobile application, eliminating the need to visit physical Aadhaar enrollment centers. This change is expected to reduce the administrative burden on citizens and improve the efficiency of the Aadhaar system. UIDAI highlighted that the mobile app will streamline the process, making it faster and more convenient for users to maintain accurate personal information. The decision to temporarily waive the fee was driven by the need to promote digital inclusion and ensure that Aadhaar remains a robust tool for verifying identity in an increasingly digital world.#digital_verification #aadhaar #uidai #uidai_mobile_app #email_update
