Amex wants current address proof to process their card application, if you are someone who is not living in their serviceable are but can arrange an address for delivery, then there is a way through which you can change your aadhar address if you don't have any proof of address.

Requirement :- Axis bank saving account, the Mobile number registered to Aadhar. (I have tried it and my aadhar got updated in 3 days)

Step 1 - Go to your axis bank app and click on services, there select Update address, click on instant updation using aadhar

Step 2 - Select "current address" in that option, there are two options current and permanent, only select current after that enter your aadhar number and "otp" will be sent on registered aadhar number

Step 3 - Click on "Enter different address", and then enter your new address

Step 4 - Now your current address is updated in bank, This will reflect in your bank statement and in your passbook. The bank statement or passbook front page where address is mentioned can be used a proof for aadhar address update.

Note:- 1. Do not directly upload you bank statement it will be rejected, bank statement need a seal of bank with bank official signature, so print your statement and go to bank and ask them to put a seal and signature.. or easy way is go to bank and ask for new passbook, carry a photo with you and ask them to put the seal in between your passbook and photo.

2. Address may take 1-2 days to get updated in bank statement, only go to bank after confirmation, you can confirm it by downloading bank statement and checking your address is updated or not. Once your passbook is ready use it as a proof for aadhar update "seal of bank with bank official sign is important" + your photo on it.

Just wanted to post an update.
This will work.😀 Got one AmEx card, and another one on the way. Thanks a lot, @aditya001 👍

NB: I faced a small hiccup. Posting it here so that no one else makes my silly mistake.

When you update your Aadhaar address, make sure you refresh your Aadhaar card in Digilocker as well. Else it will have the older card details.


Timeline
Dec 29th, 2022 - Applied for AmEx MRCC, got conditionally approved but during vKYC uploaded older aadhaar from Digilocker. vKYC failed and the application went to an ON-HOLD status
Dec 29th, 2022 - Refreshed my Digi locker and tried to apply again - Immediately got the message that application cannot be processed due to an ongoing application.
Connected with technofino members who faced similar situations and got to know that my application will be canceled not rejected. So I don't need to wait 90 days. Thanks @Raman997 @aditya001
Jan 2nd, 12:30 PM - Applied for AmEx Smart Earn card, Completed vKYC with updated digilocker details
Jan 3rd, 7:30 PM - Got card approved email
Jan 4th - Card shipped
Jan 6th - The card was delivered by blue dart
Once the card was activated, contacted AmEx chat support and confirmed the status of my MRCC application as "Cancelled"
Applied again for MRCC, It is conditionally approved, and didn't have to do vKYC again. The link says already completed

What about aadhaar update timeline ? How much time it took ?
 
Took around 4-5 working days. Applied on 23rd, updated on 29th.
Try checking on uidai website everyday. I didn't receive any sms or email.
Also in the myAadhaar mobile, I had to delete and add the card again to see the change.(Sync didn't work)
That's great to know.
Will try this route for amex in Feb. Already got 3 cards in dec. So taking a break in Jan .
 
You can also try to open a Zero Balance Account via VKYC with Indusind can have whatever address as communication address than use that statement to update aadhar . I have done this when I shifted to a new flat last year 😉
