If you update your Name, Address, and Mobile number in the same appointment, the total fee is still strictly ₹75 (not ₹75 per field).
Child MBU Standalone Rule
Mandatory Biometric Update for children at age 5 and 15 is free by law. Centre operators must process it as a dedicated MBU request without adding fees.
Citizen Rights & Anti-Overcharging Advisory
UIDAI strictly prohibits operators from charging more than the official fee. Every legitimate update generates a system-printed GST tax receipt containing your Service Request Number (SRN/URN). Never pay cash without receiving this official receipt.
