• Aadhaar Generation (0-5 age group) to ₹90
• Aadhaar Generation (>5 years) to ₹150
• Mandatory Biometric Update (5-7 and 15-17 years) to ₹150
• Fees to be collected from residents remain "Free of cost" for assisted services, but the specific fees for other services are not listed in the provided excerpt for this table.

3. Rates for Non-In-House Model Registrars (Table 3)

• For registrars not under the in-house model, the financial assistance rates remain unchanged at ₹50 for both Aadhaar Generation and Mandatory Biometric Updates. These services remain free of cost for residents.

4. Additional Home Enrolment Service Charges

• A fixed service charge of ₹700 (incl. GST) applies for home enrolment, which is in addition to the normal update fee.
• If multiple residents at the same address use the service, the charge is ₹700 for the first resident and ₹350 for each additional resident.

Conclusion: UIDAI has introduced increased financial assistance rates for in-house model registrars for the next three-year period (2025-2028), with a pre-defined further increase for the subsequent period (2028-2031). Fees for residents remain free for core services (enrolment and specific mandatory updates) but are charged for other updates and value-added services. Rates for other registrars remain the same.
