National Identification Authority of India Bill

The National Identification Authority of India Bill aims to establish a legal framework for creating a comprehensive biometric database called the National Register of Citizens (NRC). This database will include fingerprints, iris scans, and other biometric data of Indian citizens to improve identity verification, reduce fraud, and streamline government services. The bill outlines the procedures for registration, data privacy, and the roles of authorities responsible for maintaining the system. It seeks to enhance identification accuracy and governance while addressing concerns related to privacy and data security.
