Under Section 69B of the Information Technology Act, 2000, who has the power to authorise a Government agency to monitor and collect traffic data or information?

The Central Government holds the power. Under Section 69B(1) it authorises any agency of the Government by notification in the Official Gazette to monitor and collect traffic data or information. Agencies cannot self-authorise, and intermediaries or adjudicating officers have no such authorising power under this section.

  1. AThe Central Government, by notification in the Official GazetteCorrect
  2. BAny intermediary, by a board resolution
  3. CThe Adjudicating Officer, by a written order
  4. DAny Government agency on its own motion

Explanation

Section 69B(1) empowers the Central Government to authorise any agency of the Government by notification in the Official Gazette. An intermediary or an agency cannot confer this power on itself, so the other options are wrong.
