The bids for the project were due on November 7, but the deadline has now been extended till January 3, 2020. India's National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) has dismissed privacy, misidentification and other concerns over a proposed National Automated Facial Recognition System (NAFRS). In response to a filing from non-profit the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF), NCRB said NAFRS would follow existing guidelines of comparing police suspect images with those on Law Enforcement Agency databases, and could also add bulk subject images or CCTV footage. The government is expected to make its final decision in March 2016.
