The ASK will charge ₹50 for updating Aadhaar details. Fresh enrolment is free.

The first Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK) in Tamil Nadu has become operational in Koyambedu in . The ASK is set up by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to extend Aadhaar-related services to the general public.

With a capacity to handle 1,000 requests a day, the ASK would charge ₹50 for updates in Aadhaar details and in case of fresh enrolment, it is free of cost. Except for Tuesday, ASK functions through the week between 9.30 a.m. and 6 p.m. The ASK is functioning from Ten Square Mall on Jawaharlal Nehru Road in Koyambedu.

By using the link https://appointments.uidai.gov.in/bookappointment.aspx, citizens could either make fresh enrolments or update details in the existing Aadhaar entries online. Through an OTP sent to the mobile number, prior appointments could be made.

A citizen gets a token for their Aadhaar-related work and then moves to a ‘verifier’ for document checking. Once the verification is completed, the resident moves to ‘cash counter’ for payment of ₹50 (charges for Aadhaar update, if required) and is then assigned an ‘operator counter’ from the 16 operator work stations, according to the UIDAI.

The UIDAI has plans to set up a total of 114 ASK in 53 cities across the country.
