Why is it important to update Aadhar
Any person’s information may change in the last 10 years, such as address, spelling of name, or other details. UIDAI says that if the information given in Aadhaar is old or incorrect, then there may be problems in many essential services. As:
- KYC not updated in bank
- Stoppage of benefits of government schemes
- Problems with identity verification
For this reason, it is advised to update Aadhaar once every 10 years.
Update from mobile sitting at home
The best thing is that you do not need to go anywhere for this. You can complete this work from your mobile or laptop. By visiting the official website of UIDAI, you can login through Aadhaar number and OTP. After this you can update your information by choosing “Document Update” option.
How to update, easy way
After login, you will have to check your basic information like name, date of birth, gender and address. If everything is correct, you will have to upload the documents of Proof of Identity and Address (POI and POA). Documents like Voter ID, PAN card or Ration card can be used in this. After submitting, you will get an SRN (Service Request Number), through which you can track the status of your update.
Don’t make these small mistakes
It is very important to keep some things in mind while uploading documents. Your documents should be clear and readable. If the name or information does not match Aadhaar, your update may be rejected. The file size should not exceed 2MB and only JPEG, PNG or PDF formats are acceptable.
Updating Aadhaar is not a big task, but ignoring it can become a big problem in the future. Now you have time till June 14, when you can do this work without any fee. In such a situation, it is better to update your Aadhaar information in time and avoid future problems.
