Hearing is on 16 July.

Delhi HC wants

• Conduct mandatory verification of registrant details at the point of registration and through periodic re-verification in accordance with applicable KYC norms.
• Ensure registrant information is not masked by default unless verification is complete, reversing prevalent “privacy by default” practices that conceal registrant details.
• Clarify the scope of data shared with the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) for domains it administers and provide monthly updates.
• Disclose verified registrant information, including name, address, mobile number, email, and payment details, to law enforcement or courts within 72 hours of request.
• Explore the possibility of implementing a uniform e-KYC framework for all domain registrars similar to that used by NIXI, through stakeholder consultations.

India wants every registrar in the world to do this.
