Your Aadhaar card is one of the most important documents you possess in INDIA. Whether it’s for availing government subsidies, opening a bank account, or completing KYC verification, the Aadhaar card issued by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) plays a vital role in daily life. But what if your name is printed incorrectly? Don’t worry — correcting it is easier and cheaper than you think.

Why It’s Important to Correct Your Name on Aadhaar
An incorrect name on your Aadhaar card can lead to major issues. It can delay or deny access to essential services such as:

Banking transactions
-
PAN-Aadhaar linking
-
Government welfare schemes

School and college admissions
To avoid such hassles, it’s best to get your Aadhaar details corrected as soon as possible.
