Consider these statements. (i) CERT-In may call for information and give directions to service providers, intermediaries, data centres, body corporate and any other person. (ii) Section 70B imposes a duty only on intermediaries, and no other person. (iii) Under Section 69B, an agency authorised by the Central Government may monitor and collect traffic data, and an intermediary contravening its duty to assist faces punishment. Which combination is correct?

Statements (i) and (iii) are correct. Section 70B(6) lets CERT-In call for information and direct a wide range of persons, not just intermediaries, while Section 69B authorises an agency to monitor traffic data and punishes an intermediary who knowingly fails to assist.

  1. A(i) and (iii) onlyCorrect
  2. B(i) and (ii) only
  3. C(ii) and (iii) only
  4. D(i), (ii) and (iii)

Explanation

Section 70B(6) lets CERT-In call for information and give directions to service providers, intermediaries, data centres, body corporate and any other person, so (i) is correct and (ii) is false because the duty is not limited to intermediaries. Section 69B authorises monitoring and collection of traffic data and punishes an intermediary who intentionally or knowingly contravenes the duty to provide technical assistance, so (iii) is correct.
