Reading Comprehension Shot 198

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and wer the questions given
below it.
The cabinet of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved a data
protection bill on Wednesday for tabling in parliament, taking the country a
step closer to framing a privacy law. “The protection of personal data is a very
important subject globally,” Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar told a
news conference after a cabinet meeting. “How that will be done (here) and
how work will progress keeping India’s interest and people’s interest in mind,
this is what this bill is about.” The Personal Data Protection bill, drafted by a
panel headed by a former Supreme Court judge and submitted to the
government last year, is key for how firms including global tech giants Amazon,
Facebook, Alphabet’s Google and others process, store and transfer Indian
consumers’ data. Although the full extent of changes in the bill is not known,
the draft cleared by the cabinet expects social media firms to develop a
voluntary method for users to verify themselves, a source familiar with the
matter told Reuters. The bill mandates that personal data categorised as
sensitive will be stored or processed only in India, the source said, declining to
be named as details about the bill in its current form are not public. It also says
that data deemed sensitive will have to be stored in India but can be processed
outside of the country, the source said. India’s banking regulator last year
directed foreign firms such as Mastercard and Visa to store their payments
data locally for “unfettered supervisory access”. It later clarified that
transactions made in India could be processed outside of the country
but the related data should be brought back for local storage within 24 hours.
Other noncritical or non-sensitive data could be stored outside India, the
source said. Companies proven to be in breach will face a penalty of up to 150
million rupees (2.09 million USD) or 4 per cent of their global turnover,
whichever is higher, the source said. India’s technology ministry was did not
immediately respond to a request for comment outside business hours.
