He said: "Our recommendation on data privacy, security and ownership of data in the sector will come by the end of this month."

The Chairman said: "We will be making the recommendations available to the Justice Srikrishna Committee. Essentially, we will provide these as our inputs...We have already written to them saying we are expected to come out with our views and we will be sharing them."
