Port Blair, March 25:  The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has decided to allow residents to update documents in their Aadhaar online free of cost, a people-centric move that will benefit millions of residents. As part of Digital India Initiative, the UIDAI took the decision and is urging residents to get benefit of free document update facility on myAadhaar portal. The free service is available for the next three months i.e. 15th March 2023 to 14th June 2023.

The UIDAI has been encouraging residents to upload Proof of Identity (PoI) and Proof of Address (PoA) documents to revalidate their demographic details, especially if Aadhaar was issued 10 years back and never got updated.
