A mandate for #backdoors to #encryption or originator #traceability does not fulfill the #Puttaswamy test and must be revisited.

2/8
#OriginatorTraceability mandate would result in practical complications for industry; become an obstacle to small businesses & #innovation; & the end product will be difficult to sell in the Int'l market. Such a mandate should not be implemented without further consultation.

We wrote to Chief Minister of Haryana, Shri @mlkhattar , and Principal Secy of Information Technology Department, Shri V. Umashankar against the mandatory imposition of Aadhaar in Parivar Pehchaan Patra and de-facto imposition of Parivar Pehchaan Patra.

According to #Puttaswamy (2019), #Aadhaar can be made mandatory only for:
