Aadhaar (Aadhar) Fee Calculator: What Will Your Update Cost?

How much will your Aadhaar work cost?

How does the fee calculator work?

• Pick where you will do the work: an Aadhaar centre, the myAadhaar website or the Aadhaar App. Only the services offered there are shown.
• Tick what you need and enter the person's age. The age matters only for a biometric update, because children's updates are free at certain ages.
• Read each line: the fee ("Free" when nothing is charged), a one-line reason and the estimated total. A print shows as ₹30–₹40, so the total becomes a range.
• Dated offers (child update at 7–15, online document update, email in the app) are checked against today's date on your device.
• The calculator runs only in your browser. It never asks for your Aadhaar number and sends nothing anywhere. Without JavaScript, the table above lists every fee.

Two things the calculator can't settle for you:

• Child's update plus other changes: UIDAI's fee chart says a child's mandatory biometric update "must be a stand-alone transaction". The 2026 forms say written changes are free when done with a biometric update. Ask the centre before you combine them.
• Exact birthdays: UIDAI's charts say "5–7", "7–15" and "15–17" without saying how the birthday on the edge is counted. If the child is right on a boundary, check at the centre.

Under 5: a biometric update for a child below 5 is a new photo only. UIDAI's fee box doesn't list a separate fee for it; in our counter team's experience a photo-only update before age 5 costs ₹125, which is what the calculator shows.

In our counter team's experience, address update on the myAadhaar website also costs ₹75, the same as at a centre (the fee for the Head-of-Family route is not confirmed). For what each update involves, see Aadhaar update: fees & limits; for the full fee list with refunds, see Aadhaar fees & charges.

Not a UIDAI fee: the ₹1,000 late fee for linking PAN with Aadhaar is paid on the income-tax portal, not at an Aadhaar centre. See our PAN guide on how to pay the fee and link PAN with Aadhaar.

What do common Aadhaar jobs cost? Sample costs

Fees verified against UIDAI on 16 Oct 2026 (fee chart, 2026 enrolment and update forms, Aadhaar Seva Kendra page reviewed 9 Oct 2026). Free offers end on the dates shown unless UIDAI extends them; after that, check the current fee before you pay.

Not sure when your child's update falls due? Use the child update due-date calculator.

What is never charged?

• A new Aadhaar (enrolment), for a baby, a child or an adult.
• The enrolment or update form. UIDAI's forms 1–8 can be downloaded from uidai.gov.in, and no fee is listed for the form itself.
• Appointment booking at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra (how to book an Aadhaar appointment). Anyone selling you a "slot" is charging for something free.
• Downloading e-Aadhaar on myAadhaar or in the Aadhaar App.
• Calling 1947, UIDAI's helpline, which is free of cost.

What should you check before you pay at a centre?

1. Check the fee

   Use the calculator or the sample costs. Remember that one ₹75 request covers all the written details you want to change.

2. Ask for a receipt

   Ask for a receipt for what you pay, and keep the slip with your request number. You need it to track the update.

3. Compare

   Check the amount on the receipt against the official fee. UIDAI says charges are the same at every centre.

4. Complain if you were overcharged

   Note the centre's name and address, the operator's name or ID, the date and the amount. Then follow the steps below.

What can you do if a centre overcharges you?

Charging more than the official fee is not allowed. Complain to UIDAI with the details you noted:

• Call 1947 (free), or email [email protected].
• Or file a complaint on myAadhaar and save the complaint number. UIDAI's Citizen's Charter sets 30 days to resolve a grievance.
• No answer? See Aadhaar complaint & escalation for the Regional Office and CPGRAMS.

A December 2023 news report of a Lok Sabha reply says that, if overcharging is proven, the operator is suspended and the registrar fined ₹50,000.

What if the fee you are told is different?

Bottom line

Most Aadhaar work costs ₹0, ₹75 or ₹125. Combine all your written changes into one ₹75 request, or do them with a biometric update for ₹125 in total. Check the free dates for children, online documents and email. Pay only the official fee, ask for a receipt, and report overcharging on UIDAI's free helpline 1947.
