GST on Aadhar

Aadhaar issuing authority Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will now impose 18 percent Goods and Services Tax (GST) on updation of Aadhaar details, media reports have said.

UIDAI charges Rs 25 for demographic update that includes name, address, date of birth, mobile, genrder and email. The same amount is charged by UIDAI for biometric updates.

It is to be noted that new Aadhaar enrolment and biometric update of children are still free.

UIDAI has also floated a complaint forum for overcharging. If the centre asks you to pay more, you can report by calling 1947 (toll free) or writing to help@uidai.gov.in
