If you have been wondering to update your Aadhaar details then you have to shell out some more money as the Aadhaar authority, UIDAI is reportedly considering imposing 18 per cent GST.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), according to some media reports, would now impose 18 per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST) on updation of Aadhaar details.
