    1. companies

      Why only companies? What about governments? Maybe the term used should be organisation or institution rather than limiting to just companies.

    16. Director of Indian Institute of Science,Director of an Indian Institute of Technology as appointed by the IIT Council

      I fail to see the logic in including these people. Then why not the Directors of IIM or NLS?

    17. Business and human rights

      Seems a bit weird to see these two clubbed together.

    18. two or more than two

      Who decides the number? Can we say as many as necessary to ensure that pendency of cases at the Privacy Commission is not more than six months? This is a chance to ensure that there is no huge backlog of cases like in the courts or the information commissions.

    19. alternate means for identification

      Often the problem is not just identification. It is also other information linked to a particular identity. What if an incorrect bank account has been liked to an Aadhaar number? This clause should state "... accept any alternate means for identification and any other alternate information linked to the identification ..." or something else to this effect. There should be a remedy for all incorrect Aadhaar linkages.

    20. services provided to effectuate provisions of Part III or Part IV of theConstitution;

      Is this broad enough to cover use cases where people have been denied services due to lack of Aadhaar - such admission to (higher) educational institutions, obtaining birth, death and marriage certificates, passports, filing income tax returns, etc?

      And if consent is NOT given, the data is destroyed and cannot be collected again without consent.

      I am guessing this should be iv and NOT i.

    23. financial and credit information, including financial history and transactions.

      Except in case of people holding public offices. Adding this here should not hinder uncovering corruption. Candidates standing for elections are required to declare this information and the should not start objecting to declaring this information by stating that it is "sensitive personal data". I think this needs to be thought through a little more.

    24. “personal data”

      Provided that the "personal data" in question is in harmony with Section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information Act. If there is any inconsistency/dispute in the classification of data as "personal data" as per this Act and "personal information" as per Section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information Act, the latter shall prevail as per the provisions outlined in the Right to Information Act.
