<P> Bhartruhari Mahtab of BJD requested that the bill should not be rushed and referred to a parliamentary panel . Mallikarjun Kharge of INC said that they supported the bill but wanted some suggestions to be discussed . Rajeev Satav of INC reminded the house that initially the ruling - party BJP had opposed the Aadhaar during the reign of United Progressive Alliance (UPA), before turning around and supporting it . During the debate, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley assured the house that the Aadhaar project will not be misused . Jaitley stated that 97% of the adult and 67% of children had already been registered under the project . He also said that the definition of national security is up to the courts to define . </P> <P> On 15 March 2016, Shumsher K. Sheriff, Secretary of the Rajya Sabha, formally notified the house that the bill has been passed in the Lok Sabha . During the debate spanning over two days, Naresh Agrawal of Samajwadi Party (SP) said that the bill doesn't fit into the definition of a money bill . P.J. Kurien, Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, said that it was the decision of Lok Sabha Chairperson Sumitra Mahajan to allow the bill, so it should not be questioned . Sitaram Yechury of Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI - M) argued that the bill was unconstitutional as the Constitution guarantees the freedom of life and liberty and privacy comes under it . Jaitley responded to Yechury by saying that privacy is not an absolute right and it can be restricted by the law . Jairam Ramesh of INC said Aadhaar should be limited to subsidies only and not made mandatory for any purpose . </P> <P> On 16 March 2016, the bill was returned to the Lok Sabha by the Rajya Sabha with some suggested amendments . The Lok Sabha was free to accept or reject the amendments . But, Lok Sabha rejected the amendments and passed the bill . </P> <P> Most of the provisions of the Bill have been borrowed from the previous National Identification Authority of India Bill, 2010 . The major difference is that the three - member committee called the Identity Review Committee of the previous bill was removed in the new bill . Also, the section 8 of Aadhaar Act is significantly different from that of NIAI bill, 2010 . While the NIAI bill allowed the authentication limited to the biometric match only with Yes / No option, the Aadhaar Act allows the requesting agency / person to ask for other information too, pertaining to the person's identity . </P>
