Defining separate roles for Address Service Providers, Validation Agencies, the Network Administrator, and users is a good governance practice. It prevents concentration of power, enables checks and balances, and reduces the risk of misuse of address data.

The draft rightly embeds consent for generation, use, and validation of address identifiers, aligned with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. This strengthens citizen trust and ensures that digital governance remains user-centric rather than platform-centric

I welcome the proposal to recognise address identifiers and digital addresses as part of national digital public infrastructure. India’s current address system is fragmented and inconsistent across regions and languages, and this reform can significantly improve service delivery, emergency response, and inclusion, especially for rural and informal settlements

Too late amendment

Become like USPS in systems

सर जी, आजादी के बाद यह देखा गया है कि जिस व्यक्ति पर खाने तक को पैसा नहीं था,मजदूरी करते थे,किसी प्रकार अधिकारी या राजनेता बन गए उनमें से अधिकतर लोगों ने भ्रष्टाचार करके इतना धन एकत्र कर लिया जैसे वह खानदानी राजे महाराजे हों, बड़े नेता समझते हैं कि इनका वोट बैंक है,किंतु इनका कोई वोट बैंक नहीं होता बड़े व पार्टी के आधार पर जीतते हैं,बिना पार्टी के ये अपनी जमानत भी नहीं बचा सकते,कुछ तो 2 हजार वोट भी अपने दम पर नहीं ला सकते, जैसे आपके नाम पर लोग जीत रहे हैं, आप जिसपर हाथ रख दोगे वही नेता बन जायेगा।

The proposed amendments to the Post Office Act, 2023 establish a clear and timely legal framework for treating address information as digital public infrastructure. Defining address identifiers, Address Service Providers and Authorized Address Validation Agencies brings clarity and certainty to the DHRUVA ecosystem. The strong emphasis on user consent, privacy-by-design and alignment with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is a key strength. The role of a Network Administrator for governance and standard-setting improves accountability and interoperability. Separation of generation, validation and oversight functions reduces misuse, while the civil, proportionate penalty framework reflects a modern, business-friendly regulatory approach. Overall, the amendments balance innovation, data protection and public interest, with potential to improve service delivery and inclusion across India.
