DigiYatra passengers’ data are not shared with Indian tax authorities: Civil Aviation Ministry

The civil aviation ministry on Monday said data of passengers who use Digi Yatra are not shared with the Indian tax authorities.

Earlier in the day, the I-T Department refuted reports that Digi Yatra data will be used to crack down on tax evaders.

Based on Facial Recognition Technology (FRT), Digi Yatra provides for contactless, seamless movement of passengers at various check points at airports.
