Aadhaar PVC card fee goes up to ₹75—here's what you need to know

India Jan 06, 2026

Starting January 1, 2024, getting an Aadhaar PVC card will cost ₹75 instead of ₹50.
UIDAI says the hike covers higher costs for materials, printing, and delivery since the service launched in 2020.
The new price includes GST and speed post charges.

What's special about the Aadhaar PVC card?

It's a sturdy, credit-card-sized version of your Aadhaar that stands up to heat, water, and wear—way tougher than paper copies.
Security features like a tamper-proof QR code and hologram help keep your info safe.
