- (d)        if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR   ELECTRONICS AND  INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI P.P. CHAUDHARY)

(a) and (b): No, Sir. There is no provision in the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016 ('Aadhaar Act') for linking caste/domicile certificates with Aadhaar number. The demographic information collected during enrolment of residents is strictly in terms of definition of  'demographic information' appearing in Section 2(k) of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016 which inter alia specifically excludes collecting of information relating to caste. The Aadhaar number, being a random number, bears no relation to the attributes or identity of the Aadhaar number holder [Section 4(2) of the Aadhaar Act]. The caste/domicile certificate is one of  the  accepted  documents  for  Proof  of  Address  collected  during  the  enrolment  process  for generation of Aadhaar number, which is a random number devoid of any intelligence.

The  manner  of  usage  of  Aadhaar  number  by  the  Central  Ministries  in  delivery  of  services, benefits and subsidies funded from the Consolidated Fund of India is governed by Section 7 of the Aadhaar Act. Pursuant to the provisions of the said Section 7, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has, vide OM No. 2(10)/2016-EG-II dated 17 November, 2016, assigned the power of issuing a notification to the  Central Ministries which plan to use Aadhaar for  establishing  identity  of  an  individual  as  a  condition  for  receipt  of  subsidies,  benefits  or services funded from the Consolidated Fund of India.

(c): Yes, Sir.

(d):  Appropriate measures have been taken by the Government to ensure the security of identity information  and  authentication  records  of  individuals.  The  Aadhaar  (Targeted  Delivery  of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2016, provide that no core-biometric information (fingerprints, iris scan) shall be shared with anyone for any reason whatsoever (Sec 29)  and  that  the  biometric  information  shall  not  be  used  for  any  other  purpose  other  than generation of Aadhaar and authentication.

Chapter VII of the Aadhaar Act provides for the penalties for contravention of any provisions of the Aadhaar Act. Section 38 under the said Chapter more specifically deals with the penalty for unauthorized access to the UIDAI CIDR in the form of   unauthorized accessing, downloading, introducing virus, damaging the data, disruption of access to the CIDR, denial of access to an authorized person, revealing, sharing, using or display of information, destroying, deleting or altering of information,  stealing, concealing any computer course code used by the Authority which shall attract an imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to a fine which shall not be less than ` 10 lakhs.

Additionally, Section 39 provides that any unauthorised use or tampering with data in CIDR or in any removable storage medium with the intent of modifying information relating to Aadhaar number holder or discovering any information thereof, shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 3 years and also liable to a fine which may extend to Rupees ten thousand.

Further, the Aadhaar (Authentication) Regulations 2016 have also been notified in September 2016.  These  Regulations  inter  alia  provide  for  biometric  authentication  to  be  done  only  by Authentication Users Agency  (AUA)  authorized by UIDAI,  transmission of biometric information  in  encrypted  form,  use  of  only  certified  device,  etc. In  case  of  biometric authentication, response of UIDAI is signed digitally, assuring its veracity and additionally user is alerted about the said transaction/authentication.

UIDAI's  CIDR  facilities,  Information  Assets,  Logistics  and  Infrastructure  and  Dependencies installed  at  UIDAI  have  been  classified  as  Protected  System  under  Section  70(1)  of  the Information Technology Act, 2000 w.e.f. 11 December 2015. UIDAI   has received ISO 270001 certification which is globally accepted as the highest standard for IT security.

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI P. P. CHAUDHARY)

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI P. P. CHAUDHARY)

(a): The Government of India is implementing the 'Digital India' programme with a vision to transform India  into  a  digitally  empowered  society  and  a  knowledge  economy.  It  is  an  Umbrella  Programme  that covers multiple Ministries and Departments. Several projects/schemes are being implemented under nine pillars of Digital India programme, namely Broadband Highways, Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity, Public Internet Access Programme, e-Governance- Reforming government through Technology, e-KrantiElectronic  delivery  of  services,  Information  for  All,  Electronics  Manufacturing  -  Target  NET  ZERO Imports, IT for Jobs and Early Harvest Programme. Some of the schemes/projects implemented by MeitY are as follows:

In  order  to  utilize  and  harness  the  benefits  of  Cloud  Computing, Meghraj-  GI  Cloud project  has  been implemented. Under MeghRaj, an eGov AppStore has been implemented as a central application repository to  host  both  cloud  and  non-cloud  enabled  applications.  A  countrywide  initiative  on  mobile  governance, called Mobile Seva , to provide government services to the people also through mobile phones and tablets has  been  implemented.  Under National  Centre  of  Geo-informatics  (NCoG) project,  Geographic Information System (GIS) platform for sharing, collaboration, location based analytics and decision support system for Departments has been developed and  8 applications across various domains are operational.

Under Digital India programme, good results have been recorded in Electronic and Information Technology sector.  The  digital  footprint  has  gone  up  through  Aadhaar  seeding  and  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  (DBT). Aadhaar enrolment has increased to 108 crores in November 2016 as against 73 crores in December 2014. The Government is keenly pursuing JAM (Jandhan - Aadhaar - Mobile) for financial inclusion. The eGovernance service transactions have increased to more than 64 crore per month in 2016 as against 29.4 crores per month in 2014.
