Over time, we shift to various cities for work or studies and while we can get those details updated on Aadhaar, we didn't really have a recorded history of such updates. And that changes with Aadhaar Update history.
Moreover, for applying in colleges or for a passport or other services, where your previous record is needed, this feature will be handy.
