Aadhaar authentication records not to be kept beyond 6 months: SC
Upholding the constitutional validity of Aadhaar, the Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that Aadhaar authentication records cannot be stored beyond six months, striking down the current rule which allowed its archiving for five years. Asserting on adequate protection measures to protect Aadhaar data, the court observed, "It's difficult to create profile of the person simply on the basis of biometrics."
