Aadhaar is a 12 digit unique number issued by the UIDAI. As there is huge pressure on the data entry officer, there remains a chance of mistakes in data entry of entering the correct name, mobile number, and date of birth (DOB). Being the main stakeholder, it is your responsibility to double-check the entered data after the data entry officer finishes his or her task. At the time of enrollment, there are no fees associated with Aadhar. However, the subsequent update of Aadhar details charges some fees. One cannot stay with wrong information as you will face several problems in every step of life.
