New Delhi, November 1 (IANS). With the beginning of the new month, the rules regarding Aadhaar Card, the government document related to the identity of Indian citizens, have also changed.

However, if the age of the Aadhar card holder is 5-7 years and this update is being done for the first time then the service will be free. Similarly, cardholders aged 15-17 years will not have to make any payment even if they get updated twice.
Apart from this, if the cardholder gets the demographic update done regarding enrollment number, gender, date of birth, address, mobile and email address, then it will be free along with biometric update and if done separately, Rs 75 will have to be paid as fee.
