Is Aadhaar number and personal information a public asset?

[Pratap Vardhan]

This might be discussed earlier. Bouncing it up again. I noticed couple of state government portals, for welfare scheme enrollment is releasing information (Name, Age, Caste, AadhaarNo, BankNo, MobileNo) - is there any laid out framework/clarity as to, what personal details can be public and not?

This information cannot be made public. I have been reporting several of these websites to be taken down. If you can send a mail off the thread, will help with bringing down these portals.

Publication of this information is punishable under the Aadhaar Act and also under the IT Act, but rarely any of these govt. employees or private players implementing these govt. websites get punished. If people want to work on fixing this, an earlier thread about ministry of statistics bringing up a framework how statistics should be published is a great step to work with the government.

Section 29, clause 4 of Aadhaar Act doesn't allow publishing of Aadhaar numbers.

I would not recommend anyone posting active websites publishing details on this public forum.
