Question : Misuse of Aadhaar Data

Will the Minister of ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

(a) whether it is a fact that the Aadhaar data is being misused and following the complaints Aadhaar servers have stopped their services across the country;

(b) if so, the details thereof and the reasons therefor;

(c) whether the Government has investigated the matter and if so, the
details thereof; and

(d) the remedial steps being taken by the Government to resolve the
problem once and for all?

(a) to (d): No, Sir. The data collected during enrolment gets encrypted as soon as the enrolment takes place thereby diminishing the possibility of any misuse of the data. Ensuring security of data is a continuous exercise and UIDAI has deployed state of art security measures and is continuously upgrading it as per requirement.
