Under the new arrangement, UIDAI has waived the fee for updating the email address in Aadhaar from July 1 for the next six months. During this period, Aadhaar holders will be able to register or update their email ID without paying any charges.
Until now, individuals were required to pay a fee of Rs 75, including Goods and Services Tax (GST), to update their email ID in Aadhaar records. With the implementation of the new circular, this charge has been completely waived for the six-month period.
The latest decision by UIDAI is expected to encourage more Aadhaar holders to keep their contact information updated while reducing the financial burden associated with the mandatory update process. The temporary waiver of the email update fee marks a significant administrative initiative aimed at making Aadhaar-related services more accessible to the public.
