What Happens When One Fails To Update Aadhaar Biometric Information?

As per UIDAI, "Where an Aadhaar number holder has attained the age of 5 or 15 years, the first update in his/her Aadhaar has to be necessarily accompanied by a biometric information update. Where an Aadhaar number holder who has attained the age of 5 or 15 years fails to update his/her biometric information within 2 years of attaining such age, his/her Aadhaar number shall be deactivated. The facility of biometric information update shall be available free of cost to the Aadhaar number holder till attaining the age of 7 or 17 years, respectively. Thereafter, the Aadhaar number holder can activate his/her Aadhaar number by updating his/her biometric information. However, the applicable charges for biometric information update as fixed by the Authority from time to time shall be borne by the Aadhaar number holder. The Aadhaar number shall not be omitted even if the Aadhaar number holder does not update biometric information, and the Aadhaar number shall remain in deactivated state."

Following deactivation, UIDAI will temporarily stop providing services to the holder of the Aadhaar number until the individual who holds it changes or corrects the information that led to the authority deactivating his or her Aadhaar number.
