Having email id linked with Aadhaar Card is very important as it allows the card holder to get notifications of their Aadhaar. Also in some cases OTP’s are also sent to the email address, so having a valid email id registered with Aadhaar benefits a lot during such situation.
If, during the Aadhaar enrollment process, you omitted the provision of your email address for linkage, or if your email account has been suspended by the service provider, compromised due to hacking, or if you have forgotten the password associated with the email linked to your Aadhaar, this tutorial will guide you through the comprehensive procedure to add email to Aadhar or update email id in aadhar.
Primarily, it is essential to understand the available methods through which you can perform email id update in aadhar.

Notably, the previously available option on the UIDAI Online Update platform for Aadhaar Holders to rectify or update their email address online has been discontinued due to security considerations and updates to the portal.
