PREPARATORY QUESTIONS

JUMBLED SENTENCES

PREPARATORY SET-95 (OLD PATTERN)

Direction (Qs.1-5): Given below are six statements (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F), which when arranged in the correct order, form a coherent and meaningful paragraph. The sentence marked as D is fixed and would fit in the fourth position. Rearrange the other statements in a proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and then answer the questions below.

(A) This decision, which is likely to be welcomed by foreign companies, who would have seen a surge in costs to comply with these regulations, suggests that a more considered view on localisation norms is evolving in India.

(B)  A high-level government panel has recommended doing away with the requirement of foreign firms needing to store a copy of all personal data within India. Firms will now be able to store and process data abroad, though critical personal data will have to be processed and stored in the country.

(C)  This is not to suggest that localisation is never acceptable. There may be cases when it is justified. But these require careful cost-benefit analysis.

(D)  The arguments in favour of data localisation are straightforward — it will address questions on privacy and security, enable greater governmental access to data, and help develop local data infrastructure. But on each of these issues, it is not very clear if the benefits from localisation outweigh the costs.

(E)   For instance, in the absence of a strong data protection law, questions of privacy and security are unlikely to be addressed. And while there are reasonable arguments to be made in favour of law enforcement having greater access to data, especially when it is not stored in India, interventions such as bilateral treaties aimed at addressing specific issues might be a more prudent approach.

(F)   This approach marks a significant departure from the recommendations of the Justice Srikrishna committee report which had suggested that a copy of personal data must be stored in the country. The panel’s decision comes after a rethink by the Reserve Bank of India, which earlier relaxed its April 2018 circular that had mandated that all payment data generated in the country be stored here.
