Women arrested for Facebook post: Did cops act under Sena pressure?
http://editors.cis-india.org/news/ndtv-video-ndtv-special-ndtv-24x7
<b>After Bal Thackeray's death, during the Mumbai Bandh, a 21-year-old criticised the shutdown on her Facebook page — her friend approved of it — next thing they know, they are facing a case, and this morning they were arrested. </b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">YP Singh, Alyque Padamsee, Rohan Joshi, Karuna Nundy and Pranesh Prakash took part in a discussion about the arrest of two girls over a Facebook comment. The discussion was aired in NDTV on November 19, 2012.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The anchor asked Pranesh Prakash:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Who are these people scrolling through people's Facebook posts and Twitter accounts, finding these comments and taking action?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Pranesh Prakash said that it could be anyone. The reality is doesn't really matter because the laws are written in such a way that if it is public and stuff that is on Facebook for different purposes can either be public or private, if it is public these laws can very often apply and that is a problem. We haven't quite figured out to what extent these laws apply. The IT Act section 66A for instance, is unconstitutional, section 295 A which has been applied, and section 505 which also seems to have been applied in this case make it a clear case of misappropriation of those provisions. These kind of arrests will happen. It doesn't quite matter if we have right laws at one level and it clearly doesn't help if we have bad laws. What we need to do at least in part to remedy the situation is to amend the IT Act to make it consonant and consistent with civil and political rights and to do so in multi-stakeholder fashion involving civil society, industry and government. Right now it doesn't protect privacy and freedom of speech as much as it should.</p>

http://editors.cis-india.org/openness/blog-old/wikipedia-workshop-ghaziabad
<b>The Access to Knowledge team at the Centre for Internet & Society was approached by Gaurav Prashar, Assistant Dean at Inmantec College, Ghaziabad to organize a Wikipedia workshop. Accordingly, a workshop was organized on October 17, 2012.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">It was quite overwhelming to see the amount of effort the institution had put in to organize this event. It took place in a large auditorium which was well equipped with all modern facilities like projector, internet, good sound system, each student had a laptop with access to stable internet connection.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Over 120 participants attended the workshop including MCA, BCA, BBA students and faculty members. The workshop included a brief introduction about - what is Wikipedia, who edits Wikipedia, why do they edit Wikipedia, how can one contribute to Wikipedia articles. The presentation was followed by a hands on editing training session where some participants created usernames and tried minor editing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">During the session participants also created a new article, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inmantec" target="_blank">Inmantec</a>, and have taken it as a challenge to edit and improve this article over the period of next one month.</p>

http://editors.cis-india.org/internet-governance/whose-data-is-it
<b>Tactical Technology Collective and the Centre for Internet & Society invite you to the second round of discussions of the Exposing Data Series at the CIS office in Bangalore on 24 January 2012. Siddharth Hande and Hapee de Groot will be speaking on this occasion.</b>
<p>Like countless others, this title is a convenient adaptation of a 1972 play by Brian Clark, Whose Life is it Anyway?, a meditation on 'euthanasia' and the extent to which governments or the law can determine the private life of an individual. In a similar sense we use the title to help frame the second set of conversations in the Exposing Data Series, to zero in on the idea of data and who has the right to decide what happens with it. Philosophically, and also at the level of code, computing and the law, the ownership of data can be a somewhat odd and a contentious thing to grapple with. The only other understandings of 'ownership' we really have are those of property and identity and these get imputed onto the intangibility of data. And, in some senses now, many aspects of one's identity exist as data.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are a range of experiences of data ownership that we talk about and experience daily. On the one hand you can hoard hard disks with favourite content to retrieve memories and experiences. On the other end of things, you can aggregate your experiences and memories with that of thousands of others, that then gets treated almost like a private hard disk belonging to some mysterious X. Who is this Mysterious X? Is there a Y? Or an XY? What is the trajectory of data in its movement from the individual to a larger, shadowy infrastructure that harvests it? What happens to our idea of data in its reconfiguration from intangible code to an idea of politics and rights? To introduce another provocation, do our existing ideas of data ownership objectify individuals? What does this objectification imply for the notion of personal privacy? For example, does the fetishization of 'things' called data obfuscate the idea of personal privacy?</p>
<p>One of the ways in which we may consider looking at open data initiatives for transparency and accountability is to assess it as discourse, and in relation to what happens when communities aggregate data. Open Government Data usually involves a top-down approach in terms of how it is aggregated, collated, shared, whilst community based approaches are more particular, contextual and local. What do these different approaches give us when we bring them to the same table?</p>
<p>The second event in the Exposing Data Series will focus on data ownership, looking into open government data and community-based data aggregation, to explore the various levels of data collection, the movement of data and its exchange, its representation, and dissemination in different contexts.</p>

http://editors.cis-india.org/digital-natives/vote-for-digital-natives
<b>The Centre for Internet & Society and Hivos are super excited to present the final videos in the Everyday Digital Native Video Contest. We invite readers to vote for the TOP 5 Videos. The finalists will each win EUR500! Voting closes March 31, 2012</b>
<h2>Who’s the Everyday Digital Native? This global video contest has the answer</h2>
<p><em>They effect social change through social media, place their
communities on the global map, and share a spiritual connection with the
digital world - Meet the Everyday Digital Native</em></p>
<p>The Everyday Digital Native video contest has got its pulse on what
makes youths from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds connect with one
another in the global community – it’s an affinity for digital
technologies and Web 2.0-mediated platforms coupled with a drive to
spearhead social change. The contest invited people from around the
world to make a video that would answer the question, ‘Who is the
Everyday Digital Native?’. Following a jury-based selection process, the
final videos are now online and open for public voting.</p>
<p>Run by the Bangalore-based Centre for Internet & Society (CIS)
with the support of Dutch NGO HIVOS, the contest will see the top five
videos with the most votes declared winners on April 1, 2012. The 12
finalists in the video, who come from different parts of the globe, are
each vying for the top prize of USD 500 and a chance to have their
shorts screened in a film screening and panel discussion hosted by CIS. <br /><br />Referring
to the theme of the contest, Dr Nishant Shah, Director of Research and
Co-founder of the Centre, says that the contest aims at highlighting the
alternative users of digital technologies. These are people who are
often not accounted for either in mainstream discourses of changemakers
or in academic biopics on digital natives. “The 12 video proposals show
that the everyday digital native does not wake up in the morning and
think, ‘hmmm today I will change the world’. And yet, in their everyday
lives, when they see the possibility of producing a change in their
immediate environments, they turn to the digital to find networks that
can start a change”, says Shah. <br /><br />Apart from the top five public
selections, the jury members will be instrumental in picking their two
favorites among the finalists. Talking about the range of ideas that
participants sent in jury member Leon Tan, a media-art historian,
cultural theorist and psychoanalyst based in Gothenburg, Sweden, says,
“The contest is an exciting project as it has the potential to portray
the lives of digital natives from different corners of the world. The
generosity of the contestants in creating video proposals is commendable
as is the range of ideas suggested. The ideas address both the
opportunities and risks of what we might call digital life.” <br /><br />Adds
Shashwati Talukdar, a filmmaker and jury member from India, “It was
really interesting to see how different all the proposals were. Some of
them were taking the notion of digital native as a personal one and some
were very clearly political and sought an intervention in the real
world. Dutch digital media artist and jury member Jeroen van Loon refers
to a proposal from the USA where the participant wanted to explore the
possibility of unplugging from his digital life. “It’s very interesting
how digital natives question their own world. The proposals are good
examples of how technology and culture constantly change each other. We
can learn a lot from the global digital natives.” </p>

<b>Konkani as a language has seen geographical, political and religious conflicts. Being the official language of Goa and spoken widely in the Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra it is still trying to strengthen its base. Recently the Centre for Internet and Society's Access To Knowledge Programme (CIS-A2K) in collaboration with the Konkani department of Goa University organized a four-day Wikipedia workshop for MA, Konkani language students. This workshop involved 38 students creating 43 new articles on Konkani Wikipedia which is incubation.

<h3 style="text-align: justify; ">Why do you [edit] Wikipedia?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Wikipedia editors are always volunteers which translates to “Anyone and everyone can contribute to Wikipedia”. What is that brings people in today’s date to write articles on Wikipedia. This is a question we are not sure at times. You get up late in the night and check how many times your article has been edited and feel excited. This happens to many of the wikipedians including myself. It has been a personal journey to ask Wikipedians about the same. While conducting this workshop along with my colleague <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Nitika.t">Nitika</a>, I spent some time with the students asking about their experience of Wikipedia editing. We found that many of them were shy enough to sound low and we could not take the videos. This particular video features <a class="extiw" href="https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Frania_pereira" title="incubator:User:Frania pereira">Frania Pereira,</a><span class="extiw"> an MA student from Konkani department of <a href="http://www.unigoa.ac.in/" target="_blank">Goa University</a>. She attended the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Access_To_Knowledge/Events/Konkani_Wikipedia_woskshop_21August2013" target="_blank">Wikipedia workshop</a> we organized at the Central Library at Panaji for two days and edited articles on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bebinca" target="_blank">Bebinca</a> (<i>Konkani article <a href="https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/gom/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%95" target="_blank">here</a></i>) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colva#Etymology_and_History">Colvá fama</a> (<i>Konkani article <a href="https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/gom/%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%82_%E0%A4%AB%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AE" target="_blank">here</a></i>), a local festival celebrated by the Colvá Catholics. Frania is worried how people stereotype Goa to be the just land of enjoyment and not look at the diverse culture, its ethnic food and festivals. Even the Konkani speaking population in other regions (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala and abroad) don’t know much about this socio-language-cultural diversity. No other language than her mother-toungue Konkani could tell about these. And that is why she edits Wikipedia.</span></p>

http://editors.cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/uid-and-npr-a-background-note
<b>This post examines the UID, NPR and Governance as it exists in India. The background note gives a summary of what is the NPR, the legal grounding of NPR, its objectives, and the information which could be collected under the NPR. The post also throws light on the UID, its objectives, process of enrollment in UID, how UID is being adopted by different states in India, and finally the differences and controversies in UID and NPR.</b>
<p><i>This research was undertaken as part of the 'SAFEGUARDS' project that CIS is undertaking with Privacy International and IDRC</i>.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: justify; ">Video</h2>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/P1CdCkdKtcU" width="315"></iframe></p>
<p><i>The above video is from the "UID, NPR, and Governance" conference held on March 2, 2013 at TERI, Bangalore</i>.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the NPR?<br /></b>In 2010, the Government of India initiated the NPR which entails the creation of the National Citizens Register. This register is being prepared at the local, sub-district, district, state and national level. The database will contain thirteen categories of demographic information and three categories of biometric data collected from all residents aged five and above. Collection of this information was initially supposed to take place during the House listing and Housing Census phase of Census 2011 during April 2010 to September 2010.<a href="#fn1" name="fr1">[1]</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the legal grounding of the NPR? </b><br />The NPR is legally grounded in the provisions of the Citizenship Act, 1955 and the Citizenship Rules 2003. It is <i>mandatory </i>for every usual resident in India to register in the NPR as per Section 14A of the Citizenship Act, 1955, as amended in 2004. The collection of biometrics is not accounted for in the statute or rules.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What are the objectives of the NPR? </b><br />The objectives of the NPR as stated by the Citizenship Act is for the creation of a National Citizen Register. The National Citizen Register is intended to assist in improving security by checking for illegal migration. Additional objectives that have been articulated include: providing services to the residents under government schemes and programmes, checking for identity frauds, and improving planning.<a href="#fn2" name="fr2">[2]</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the process of enrollment for the NPR?</b><br />NPR enrollment is being carried out through house to house canvassing. The Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India has assigned Department of Information Technology (DIT) the responsibility of collecting and digitizing demographic data in 17 states and 2 Union Territories of India.<a href="#fn2" name="fr2">[2]</a> Collected information will then be printed and <i>displayed in the local area </i>where it is scrutinized by local officers and vetted by local bodies called ´Gram Sabha/Ward Committees´.<a href="#fn4" name="fr4">[4]</a> This process of social audit is meant to bring in transparency, equity, and ensure accuracy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What information will be collected under the NPR?</b><br />The NPR database will include thirteen categories of demographic information and three categories of biometrics. The collection biometrics has not been provided for in the text of the Citizenship Rules, and is instead appears to be authorized through guidelines,<a href="#fn5" name="fr5">[5]</a> which do not have statutory backing. Currently, two iris scans, ten fingerprints, and a photograph are being collected. According to a 2010 Committee note, only the photograph and fingerprints were initially envisioned to be collected.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the Resident Identity Card? </b><br />The proposed Resident Identity card is a smart card with a micro-processor chip of 6.4 Kb capacity; the demographic and biometric attributes of each individual will be personalized in this chip. The UID number will be placed on the card as well. Currently, the government is only considering the possibility of distributing smart cards to all residents over the age of 18.<a href="#fn6" name="fr6">[6]</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the UID?<br /></b>The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) was established in January 2009 and is part of the Planning Commission of India. UIDAI aims to provide a unique 12 digit ID number to all residents in India on a voluntary basis. The number will be known as AADHAAR. The UIDAI will own and operate a Unique Identification Number database which will contain biometric and demographic data of citizens.<a href="#fn7" name="fr7">[7]</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the objective of the UID?<br /></b>According to the UIDAI, the UID will provide identity for individuals. The scheme has been promoted by the UIDAI as enabling a number of social benefits including improving the public distribution system, enabling financial inclusion, and improving the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS). Despite these benefits, the UIDAI only guarantees identity, and does not guarantee rights, benefits or entitlement.<a href="#fn8" name="fr8">[8]</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the process for enrollment in the UID?</b><br />To enroll in the UID, individuals must go to enrollment centers with the appropriate documentation. Once documents are verified and biometrics taken, individuals will receive an acknowledgment slip and their UID number will be sent in the mail.<a href="#fn9" name="fr9">[9]</a> The UIDAI will enroll up to 600 million residents in 16 States and territories.<a href="#fn10" name="fr10">[10]</a> Online registration prior to enrollment at a Center is also now being offered.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>How is UID being adopted by different States? </b><br />The adoption of the UID by different states and platforms has been controversial as the UID is not a mandatory number, yet with states and services adopting the number for different governmental services, the UID is becoming mandatory by default. Some ways in which states are using the UID include:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Gas and vehicles</i>: The UPA Government has required that citizens have a UID number for services such as purchasing cooking gas, issuing a RTI request, and registering vehicles.<a href="#fn11" name="fr11">[11]</a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Education</i>: The Kerala government has required that all students must have UID number in order to be tracked through the system.<a href="#fn12" name="fr12">[12] </a>This mandate was questioned by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>First Information Reports (FIR’s)</i>: The high court in Bombay has ordered the state home department to direct all police stations in Maharashtra to record the Unique Identification (UID) numbers of accused individuals and witnesses filing a FIR.<a href="#fn13" name="fr13">[13]</a> </li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Banks</i>: The National Payment Corporation of India has collaborated UIDAI and is issuing ‘RuPay cards’ (Dhan Aadhaar cards) which will serve as ATM/micro-ATM cards. In 2011 the Bank of India had issued 250 cards.<a href="#fn14" name="fr14">[14]</a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Railway</i>: Railways are proposing to use the UID database for bookings and validation of passengers.<a href="#fn15" name="fr15">[15]</a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Social Security</i>: Commencing January 1, 2013, MGNREGA, the Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana (RGAY), the Ashraya housing scheme, Bhagyalakshmi and the social security and pension scheme have included the UID in the Mysore district</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Has there been duplication of UID numbers?</b><br />According to news reports:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">The UIDAI has blacklisted an operator and a supervisor in Andhra Pradesh for issuing fake UID numbers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">The UIDAI is looking into six complaints regarding the misuse of personal data while issuing the UID numbers to individuals.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The UIDAI has received two received complaints regarding duplication of UID numbers.<a href="#fn17" name="fr17">[17]</a></li>
</ul>
<p><b>What are the differences between the UID and NPR?<br /></b></p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Voluntary vs. Mandatory:</i> It is compulsory for <i>all </i>Indian residents to register with the NPR, while registration with the UIDAI is considered voluntary. However, the NPR will store individuals UID number with the NPR data and place it on the Resident Indian Card. In this way and others, the UID number is becoming compulsory by various means. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Number vs. Register:</i> UID will issue a number, while the NPR is the prelude to the National Citizens Register. Thus, it is only a Register. Though earlier the MNIC card was implemented along the coastal area, there has been no proposal to extend the MNIC to the whole country. The smart card that is proposed under the NPR has only been raised for discussion, and there has been no official decision to issue a card.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Statute vs. Bill:</i> The enrollment of individuals for the NPR is legally backed by the Citizenship Act, except in relation to the collection of biometrics, while the UID as proposed a bill which has not been passed for the legal backing of the scheme. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Authentication vs. Identification:</i> The UID number will serve as an authenticator during transactions. It can be adopted and made mandatory by any platform. The National Resident Card will signify resident status and citizenship. It is unclear what circumstances the card will be required for use in. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>UIDAI vs. RGI:</i> The UIDAI is responsible for enrolling individuals in the UID scheme, and the RGI is responsible for enrolling individuals in the NPR scheme. It is important to note that the UIDAI is located in the Planning Commission, but its status is unclear, as the NIC had indicated that the data held is not being held by the government. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Door to door canvassing vs. center enrollment</i>: Individuals will have to go to an enrollment center and register for the UID, while the NPR will carry out part of the enrollment of individuals through door to door canvassing. Note: Individuals will still have to go to centers for enrolling their biometrics for the NPR scheme. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Prior documentation vs. census material:</i> The UID will be based off of prior forms of documentation and identification, while the NPR will be based off of census information.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Online vs. Offline:</i> For authentication of an individual’s UID number, the UID will require mobile connectivity, while the NPR can perform offline verification of an individual’s card. </li>
</ul>
<p><b>What is the controversy between the UID and NPR? </b></p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Effectiveness:</i> There is controversy over which scheme would be more effective and appropriate for different purposes. For example, the Ministry of Home Affairs has argued that the NPR would be more suited for distributing subsidies than the UID, as the NPR has data linking each individual to a household.<a href="#fn18" name="fr18">[18]</a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Legality of sharing data</i>: Both the legality of the UID and NPR collecting data and biometrics has been questioned. For example, it has been pointed out that the collection of biometric information through the NPR, is beyond the scope of subordinate legislation. Especially as this appears to be left only to guidelines.<a href="#fn19" name="fr19">[19]</a> Collection of any information under the UID scheme is being questioned as the Bill has not been approved by the Parliament.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Accuracy</i>: The UIDAI's use of multiple registrars and enrolment agencies, the reliance on 'secondary information' via existing ID documents for enrollment in the UID, and the original plan to enroll individuals via the 'introducer' system has raised by Home Minister Chidambaram in January 2012 about how accurate the data collected by the UID is is that will be collected.<a href="#fn20" name="fr20">[20]</a> To this extent, the UIDAI has changed the introducer system to a ‘verifier’ system. In this system, Government officials verify individuals and their documents prior to enrolling them.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Biometrics</i>: Though biometrics are mandatory for the UID scheme, according to information on the NPR website, if an individual has already enrolled with the UID, they will not need to provide their biometrics again for the NPR. Application of this standard has been haphazard as some individuals have been required to provide biometrics for both the UID and the NPR, and others have not been required to provide biometrics for the NPR.<a href="#fn21" name="fr21">[21]</a></li>
</ul>
<p><b>What court cases have been filed against the UID?<br /></b>The following cases are currently filed in courts around the country:</p>
<ul>
<li><i>Supreme Court:</i></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify; ">K S Puttaswamy, a retired judge of Karnataka High Court filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court challenging the legality of UIDAI.<a href="#fn22" name="fr22">[22]</a></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify; ">
<li><i>Chandigarh</i>: A petition was filed in Chandigarh by Sanjeev Pandey which sought to quash executive order passed in violation of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989 by which UID cards had been made mandatory for registration of vehicles and grant of learner/regular driving license.<a href="#fn23" name="fr23">[23]</a><span> </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><span><i>Karnataka:</i></span> <span>Mathew Thomas and Mr. VK Somasekhar have filed a civil suit in the Bangalore City Civil Courts (numbered 8181 of 2012) asking for the UID project to be stopped. The suit was dismissed, and they have appealed the case to the High Court (numbered 1780 and 1825 of 2013).</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Chennai</i>: A PIL has been filed in the Madras High Court challenging the constitutional validity of the UIDAI and its issue of UID numbers.<a href="#fn24" name="fr24">[24]</a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Bombay</i>: In January 2012 a case was filed in the Mumbai high Court. The petitioners to the case are R. Ramkumar, G. Nagarjuna, Kamayani Mahabal, Yogesh Pawar and Vickram Crishna & Ors.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the relationship between UID, NPR, and National Security<br /></b>The UID and the NPR have both stated improving security as an objective for the projects. To this extent, it is envisioned that the UID and the NPR could be used to track and identify individuals, and determine if they are residents of India. In the case of the NPR, a distinction will be made between residents and citizens. Yet, concerns have also been raised that these projects instead raise national security threats, given the size of the databases that will be created, the centralized nature of the databases, the sensitive nature of the information held in the databases, and the involvement of international agencies.<a href="#fn25" name="fr25">[25]</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What is the relationship between UID and Big Data?<br /></b>Aspects of the UID scheme allow it to generate a large amount of data from a variety of sources. Namely, the UID scheme aims to capture 12 billion fingerprints, 1.2 billion photographs and 2.4 billion iris scans and can be adopted by any platform. This data in turn can be stored, analyzed, and used for a number of purposes by a number of stakeholders in both the government and the private sectors. This is already happening to a certain extent as in November 2012 the UID established a Public Data Portal for the UID project. According to UIDAI officials the data portal will allow for big data analysis using crowd sourcing models.<a href="#fn26" name="fr26">[26]</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>How is UID being used for BPL direct cash transfers?<br /></b>Registration with the UID scheme is considered essential to determine whether beneficiaries belong in the BPL category and to provide transparency to the distribution of cash. In this way, the UID requirement is thought to prevent the leakage of social security benefits and subsidies to non-intended beneficiaries, as cash will only be made available to the person identified by the UID as the intended recipient. One of the main prerequisites of a below poverty line (BPL) direct cash transfer in India has become the registration with the UIDAI and the acquisition of a UID number. For example:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">The "Cash for Food" programme requires that individuals applying for aid have a bank account, and a UID number. The money is transferred, electronically and automatically, to the bank account and the beneficiary should be able to withdraw it from a micro-ATM using the UID number.<a href="#fn27" name="fr27">[27]</a> It is important to note that micro-ATMs are not actual ATMs, but instead are handheld machines which may give information on bank balance and such, but will not dispense or maintain privacy of transaction. Most importantly, the transaction is mediated though a banking correspondent.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">The government plans to cover the target BPL families and deposit USD 570 billion per year in the bank accounts of 100 million poor families by 2014.<a href="#fn28" name="fr28">[28]</a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify; ">Currently, only beneficiaries of thirteen government schemes and LPG connection holders have been identified as being entitled to register for a UID number.<a href="#fn29" name="fr29">[29]</a> Though these schemes have been identified, as of yet, adoption has happened in very few districts. </li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>What are the concerns regarding the use of biometrics in the UID and NPR scheme? <br /></b>Both the UID and the NPR rely on biometrics as a way to identify individuals. Yet, many concerns have been raised about the use of biometrics in terms of legality, effectiveness, and accuracy of the technology. With regards to the accuracy and effectiveness of biometrics – the following concerns have been raised:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Biometrics are not infallible:</i> Inaccuracies can arise from variations in individuals attributes and inaccuracies in the technology. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Environment matters</i>: An individual’s biometrics can change in response to a number of factors including age, environment, stress, activity, and illness.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Population size matters</i>: Because biometrics have differing levels of stability – the larger the population is the higher the possibility for error is. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Technology matters:</i> The accuracy of a biometric match also depends on the accuracy of the technology used. Many aspects of biometric technology can change including: calibration, sensors, and algorithms.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify; "><i>Spoofing:</i> It is possible to spoof a fingerprint and fool a biometric reader.<a href="#fn30" name="fr30">[30]</a></li>

<b>Paying for your groceries and other goods by using your biometrics instead of an e-wallet, debit card or cash seems to be the next phase in the Centre’s ambitious push to shift the country to a “less cash” economy, as its mandarins term it.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The article by Indulekha Aravind was <a class="external-link" href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/the-soon-to-be-launched-aadhaar-pay-will-let-you-make-purchases-using-your-fingerprint/articleshow/56542475.cms">published in the Economic Times</a> on 15 January 2017. Sunil Abraham was <a class="external-link" href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/et-now/experts/sunil-abraham-on-aadhaars-misuse-during-demonetisation/videoshow/56544492.cms">consulted for this</a>.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify; "> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Ajay Bhushan Pandey, CEO of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), says it will be rolling out Aadhaar-enabled payment system, or Aadhaar Pay, for merchants in the next few weeks. This will be an app for merchants that enables them to receive payments through biometric authentication of the customer, provided their bank accounts are linked to their Aadhaar number. "A pilot is under way in fair price shops in Andhra Pradesh where shopkeepers are accepting payments from PDS beneficiaries. The results are very encouraging," says Pandey.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The idea takes off from the existing Aadhaar-enabled payment system (AEPS) used by bank business correspondents (BCs) in rural areas to disburse and accept cash, using micro ATMs. "We are trying to tweak this so that a similar device can be used by a local merchant," says Pandey. Adoption will depend on two factors: merchants’ acceptance of it and whether they can use an app rather than a micro ATM. The biggest advantage through this method of payment, says Pandey, is that the customer will not need a credit or debit card, or even a smartphone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><img alt="The soon-to-be launched Aadhaar Pay will let you make purchases using your fingerprint" class="gwt-Image" src="http://img.etimg.com/photo/56542603/page-19-1.jpg" title="The soon-to-be launched Aadhaar Pay will let you make purchases using your fingerprint" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The limits for transactions using AEPS, such as the number of daily transactions, will be left to the discretion of the banks. In the long term, the AEPS will be migrated to the BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money) platform but the rollout of Aadhaar Pay will happen before that. Post demonetisation, banking BC’s number of transactions using AEPS has leapt from 4-5 lakh to 14-15 lakh, says Pandey. According to Reserve Bank of India data on electronic payment systems, the total volume of such transactions jumped from 671 million in November 2016 to 957 million in December. USSD-based payments, which can be done using a basic feature phone, are among the biggest beneficiaries: the volume rose from just 7,000 in November to 1,02,000 in December, and value of transactions from over Rs 7,000 to over Rs 1 lakh. Prepaid payment instruments — mainly mobile wallets — rose from 59 million to 88 million in the same period (and value from Rs 1,300 crore to Rs 2,100 crore).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">While Aadhaar Pay is likely to ride the demonetisation wave if it is launched soon, certain concerns remain, as the list is how secure such a payment system will be. The UIDAI CEO says it is a paramount concern for the organisation, too. "We are using the latest technology to ensure the information stays encrypted end to-end, so that information is not leaked or misused. In the months to come, we will strengthen the security."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><b>Wary About Security</b> <br /> Sunil Abraham, executive director of the Centre for Internet and Society, a think tank that has been analysing the Aadhaar project for six years, outlines several reasons why Aadhaar-based biometrics is inappropriate for authentication in payments, unlike card-based payments that use cryptography. <br /> <br /> "With biometrics, there is always an error ratio. It is imprecise matching, whereas with cryptography (smart cards), there is no false positive or negative. You either have the key (PIN) or you don’t. It is also very cheap to defeat biometric authentication — even an unlettered person can do it," says Abraham. It would be easy enough, he says, to replicate someone else’s fingerprint by pressing it against lukewarm wax and filling the mould with glue to get a dummy finger. In contrast, compromising a smart card requires more cost and effort, from tech-savviness to machines such as a skimmer that will read the card. "And once you are compromised,you are compromised forever. You can’t change it, like a debit card PIN."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Using Aadhaar for authentication had proved to be a failure during the exchange of currency notes following demonetisation, he adds, pointing to how the poor and the middle class stood in queues for money while stacks of new currency were recovered from the homes of businessmen and bureaucrats. "When you have bank officials who are corrupt, giving them your biometrics is giving them more ammunition for corruption." To catch the criminals, law enforcement agencies had to resort to CCTV footage,a relatively older technology, he says. Others point out that while it may be secure, certain factors stand in the way of making biometrics-based payment authentication a large-scale success. Amrish Rau, CEO of PayU India, a payment gateway provider, cites a list of reasons why it would inevitably take off but only in 5-10 years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">"For one, the technology is not yet good enough. There are also bandwidth and data constraints in sending biometric data," says Rau. Even in more mature markets, it has yet to find widespread acceptance, he says, pointing to the slow adoption of Apple Pay and Samsung Pay in the US. "It’s not the answer today.” This is in contrast to NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant’s recent remarks that cards and PoS machines would become redundant by 2020 because Indians would be making payments using their thumb (biometrics). "... my view is that in the next two and a half years, India will make all its debit cards, credit cards, all ATM machines, all PoS machines totally irrelevant,” Kant had said at a Pravasi Bharatiya Divas session in Bengaluru.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify; ">UIDAI’s Pandey is more circumspect. “I wouldn’t say who would replace what. But from the government’s side we are encouraging all modes of digital payment. India has a diverse population and some people might prefer using a card, others a wallet. Collectively, they will contribute to a less-cash society.”</div>
