The important thing is that the government has extended the free update limit for updating the Aadhaar card till June 14. Earlier this limit was only till March 14. But now you will be able to upload documents online for free till June 14 to update the Aadhaar card. However, this free update facility will be available only to those people who have updated their Aadhaar number online. Otherwise they will have to go to the Aadhaar service center and pay to update their Aadhaar card.
