Misuse of Unique identity leads to punishment of 1Crore fine!

UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India ) has announced its way of punishing the culprits who commits the fraud in usage of this unique identity. This is the highest punishment as per the law


The Authority has proposed strict punishment for certain crimes related to attempts to damage the central database containing biometric information of people, with the highest punishment being Rs 1 crore in fine, coupled with a three-year jail term.

The draft law says that if any person "intentionally discloses, transmits, copies or otherwise disseminates any identity information collected in the course of enrollment or authentication to any person not authorized," he will be punished by imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years or with a fine which may extend to Rs 10,000. In the case of a company, the fine may extend to Rs 1 lakh.

Now the question is, if this unique identity is given to below middle class or even below that.. and if with out knowledge, any person disclosed his information and if the committee comes back and saying they are doing fraud, that would be totally injustise. Bcz they never asker for this process, Govt is throwing this process on to innocent poor public and imagine if they start collecting fines every now and then from different sections of people.

I strictly believe , keeping in mind the population of our nation and different sections of people , they need to come up with different mode of punishment. Even Governing bodies doesnt have such a big fine for the fraud they are commiting and this is totally bad to thrown such huge punishments on to public.

Intitially there gonna be lots of hicups in this process of assinging identity and usage of identity. And if they bring in their law of punishing the people for misusing the card , i think its not gonna work out...

Any ways The Authority has also sought suggestions from the public on the bill, saying, "Comments and suggestions may be sent to lawresponse@uidai.Gov.In or to the UIDAI office addressed to Deepika Mittal, Assistant Director General, Unique Identification Authority of India, 3rd Floor, Tower II, Jeevan Bharti Building, Connaught Circus, New Delhi-110001." The bill would become a law once it has been passed by both the Houses of the Parliament.
