Srikrishna committee: 70 Acts may have to be amended on panel proposals

The B N Srikrishna committee is likely to recommend that data related to Aadhaar, Right to Information, health care is included under the data protection framework. The move will mean amendments in 70-odd Acts, a source said. The panel on data protection is likely to give its report  to the government in the first week of August.

In what could be one the last meetings of the panel, around 2.5 hours were spent in discussing issues such as classification of data, localisation, and provisions for violations including penalties. 

Three members did not attend the meeting held on Wednesday, sources said.
