• Each vendor does their own check variable, not
  updated

Why National Registry? Knowing who this is,
objectively validated

• Database profile
• Each profile has multiple sections (employment ,
  education, personal details etc.)
• One Profile per person
• Phased buildup of data initially biometric,
  education and criminal complaints filed
• The data will be owned by the individual, and can
  be released to anyone by NDML only with his/her
  consent
• NSR-ITP is an employee-friendly measure to
  minimize any possible misuse of their identity
  and to eliminate and reduce repetitive background
  checks each time the person changes jobs
• Background checks and entry into the NSR-ITP will
  be done only after the formal, written consent of
  the individual.
• NASSCOM needs co-operation of management to
  ensure that they insist on this background check
  and being part of the NSR-ITP for all new
  employees
• Also, the existing employees needs to be
  encouraged to be in NSR-ITP. This is the best
  possibly only way to balance the needs of
  security/industry with those of civil liberty and
  privacy.
