If your Aadhaar Card is 10 years old, then you must get it re-verified and updated as soon as possible. This will help you to avail every government facility easily and avoid any problems in the future.
Important Aadhaar Update: If your Aadhaar Card is more than 10 years old, then it is very important for you to get it updated. If you do not do this, then you may be deprived of many government services and benefits in the future. Today we will tell you why Aadhaar re-verification is necessary, what are its benefits, and how it can be updated online or offline.
Why is Aadhaar update necessary?
Aadhaar card is a unique digital identity card issued by the Government of India, which is now linked to almost every government and non-government service. Whether it is opening a bank account, taking LPG subsidy, or schemes related to ration card – Aadhaar has become necessary everywhere.
Aadhaar authentication is not done so it is important to update
But in the last 10 years, your biometric or demographic data (such as name, address, date of birth, photo etc.) may have changed. Many times, mistakes like change in people’s face, problem in identifying fingerprint or typo in name come to the fore. In such a situation, not getting OTP, failing Aadhaar authentication or stopping government benefits due to not getting re-verification has become common.
UIDAI Guidelines
UIDAI has recently issued a notification urging all Aadhaar holders whose Aadhaar card is older than 10 years to get their Aadhaar updated. Especially if you have not done any update in this period. This is a voluntary process, but it is very important for the government services related to it to continue running uninterrupted.
What information needs to be re-verified in Aadhaar update?
Biometric information includes fingerprint, iris scanning, photo, while demographic information includes name, date of birth, address, mobile number, email ID (if any), these information must be correct, because most services require OTP verification from Aadhaar.
Which government services can be affected?
If you have not updated your Aadhaar and any information is incorrect or biometric verification is failing, then the services that can be affected include stopping the supply of food grains through ration card and PDS. LPG subsidy can stop. DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) in bank account can fail.
