On Monday, the Income Tax department clarified that it is not using Digi Yatra data to target tax evaders, refuting reports that suggested otherwise.

The Income Tax department clarified on X that it is not using Digi Yatra data to target tax evaders, stating that there is no such move currently.

Digi Yatra is a contactless, seamless system for airport passengers that uses facial recognition technology (FRT) to move through checkpoints.

The data provided by passengers for Digi Yatra is stored in an encrypted format to ensure privacy and security.

To use Digi Yatra, passengers must register their details on the app with Aadhaar-based validation and a self-image capture, after which the boarding pass is scanned, and credentials are shared with the airport.

The Digi Yatra Foundation manages the system, with key shareholders including the Airport Authority of India (AAI) and major airport operators like Cochin International, Bangalore International, Delhi International, Hyderabad International, and Mumbai International airports.
