Aadhaar Email Update Free Till December 31: Who Can Benefit
Aadhaar users can now update their email address for free through the official Aadhaar mobile app. The Unique Identification Authority of India has waived the earlier ₹75 charge for updating Aadhaar-linked email IDs for a limited period.
What Has Changed?
The free email update facility started on July 1, 2026, and will remain available till December 31, 2026. During these six months, users who update their email address through the Aadhaar mobile app will not have to pay the usual service fee.
Who Can Benefit?
The benefit is useful for Aadhaar holders whose old email address is inactive, incorrect, or no longer in use. It will also help users who want to keep their Aadhaar-linked communication details updated without paying the ₹75 fee.
Why Email Update Is Important
Keeping the email ID updated helps users receive important Aadhaar-related alerts, service messages, and verification-related communication without difficulty. UIDAI also advises Aadhaar holders to keep their details correct and updated.
Important Condition
The waiver applies only to email updates made through the Aadhaar mobile app. Users choosing any other update method should check the latest charges on official UIDAI platforms before submitting a request.
Deadline To Remember
The waiver is temporary and will remain valid till December 31, 2026. Aadhaar holders who want to use the free facility should complete the email update before the deadline, as the earlier ₹75 charge may return after the waiver period ends.
