About — Section 223 of the BNS
Section 223 of the BNS deals with confidentiality of individual data, ensuring that personal information collected in censuses cannot be disclosed without consent. Its significance lies in protecting privacy while allowing aggregate data use for policy. For example, the 2021 census data were released only in anonymized form under this provision.
