After 6 years and billions of transaction, @NPCI_NPCI talks about 'consent' while collecting geo-coords for every #UPI txn & gives 6 more months time to make such data collection a choice based consent.
Is there a #GPS coord in India - where @NPCI_NPCI doesn't have txn data

In the light of recent #CrPC91 request - it is valuable to revisit the privacy guarentees in the payment systems and #PaymentsPrivacy is key to having civil liberties and is no longer a niche digital rights problem.
#CashlessConsumer #Policy The Committee of Experts (CoE), led by #KrisGopalakrishnan, released a revised report on the Non-Personal Data (NPD) Framework (NPD Version 2) report on 16 December 2020 static.mygov.in/rest/s3fs-publ… 1/
Payments has seen data governance related regulation since #PaymentsDataLocalisation and data governance (both personal and non-personal data) impacts consumers as much as any other regulation 2/

Why is pmnrf.gov.in not used and a personal branding named fund being used for this? PMNRF has receipt generation, in existance for ages. PM-CARES attempts at profiting out of disaster. #DisasterPayments
But there is more. pmnrf.gov.in/en masks PAN of the fund to XXXXXX 637Q. What is the need for masking a PAN of a fund? Privacy for PM fund?
#CashlessConsumer studied #DisasterPayments and AACTP 4637 Q is the PAN of PMNRF. PMNRF also allows people to download receipts. PM-CARES doesn't have neither, didn't give a PAN for claiming 80G exemption.
