UIDAI is rolling out a new feature in the Aadhaar App that allows users to update their Aadhaar-linked mobile number directly from home using OTP and face scan verification. The process is digital, simple, and includes a small fee of about ₹50 to ₹75.

UIDAI has taken a big step to protect India’s identity system by deactivating over 2 crore Aadhaar numbers. Most of these numbers belonged to people who have passed away. The purpose is to prevent fraud and keep the Aadhaar system accurate and safe.

The Indian government has set December 31, 2025, as the final deadline to link PAN cards with Aadhaar. Starting January 1, 2026, non-linked PANs will be deactivated, affecting tax filing, refunds, and financial services. Learn who needs to link, what happens if you don’t, and how to complete the process online or via SMS.

Aadhaar Card Update for Free: The deadline for free updates via the myAadhaar portal is extended to March 14, 2024, as per UIDAI's recent memorandum.
