The government has once again extended the deadline for citizens to update their Aadhaar card details online for free. Initially set for June 14, the free update deadline was later extended to September 14, and now it has been further extended until December 14. This initiative is part of the Digital India campaign, and it is aimed at individuals who received their Aadhaar cards a decade ago and have not updated them since. It's important to note that these cost-free updates are only applicable for online modifications and cannot be done at physical Aadhaar centers.
