The new rules have come into force from October 1, 2025 and will remain in force until 30 September 2028. After this, UIDAI has also fixed new rates for the next phase i.e. October 1, 2028 to 30 September 2031.
Which services became expensive
So far, the service of the service whose charge was 50 rupees has now increased to 75 rupees. These services include updating information like name, address, mobile number, date of birth. To update fingerprint, iris or photo, first 100 rupees have to be paid, now you have to pay 125 rupees. Similarly, the service of Rs 75 has now been Rs 90.

Relief to children and teenagers
UIDAI has also given relief to children and adolescents. Biometric updates of children/teenagers aged 15 to seven years and 15 to 17 years of age will be free. Apart from this, the fee for biometric updates for children aged seven to 15 years has been waived by 30 September 2026. These steps have been taken to promote updates on time. However, if a person wants to update biometric information at another age, he will have to pay.
700 rupees for service at home
UIDAI has also fixed the fee for domestic Aadhaar services. If a person wants to update Aadhaar sitting at home, then he will have to pay 700 rupees (including GST) for this. If more people also want to take service in the same house, then every additional person will have a charge of Rs 350. These fees will be different from normal fees of demographics and biometric updates.
