The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced new fees for demographic and biometric updates to Aadhaar cards. This change will take effect on October 1, 2025, and the service will now be more expensive than before. The update fee is now set differently for all age groups, which will impact people's pockets.

Feature Points and Details:
New Fee Structure
Making a new Aadhaar card will be free for those aged 5–7 years and 15–17 years.
Biometric update for those aged 7–15 years and 17+ will now cost ₹125, up from ₹100 earlier.
Updating name, address, date of birth, gender, mobile number and email will now cost ₹75, up from ₹50 earlier.

Impact and Reaction:
These new rates will be effective across India, including Bhopal, until September 30, 2028. UIDAI states that this move is necessary to ensure better service and an easier update process. However, many citizens have questioned this decision on social media.

All eyes are now on whether UIDAI will make further changes or whether the new fees will remain unchanged. This has raised many questions, especially for families who regularly update Aadhaar for children and the elderly.
