Online or offline, where will it cost how much money?

• If you upload the documents online yourself through the 'Aadhaar' portal, then no fee will have to be paid.  
• By updating online in time, you can avoid the hassle of standing in queues and spending extra money.
• If you go to a nearby Aadhaar service centre or bank and get the work done offline, you will have to pay a fee of ₹75.

The government has released a new 'Aadhaar App'.
