      Question

      Which of the following is NOT a function of the

      Controller of Certifying Authorities according to the IT Act, 2000?
      A Laying down standards to be maintained by Certifying Authorities Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Certifying public keys of Certifying Authorities Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Maintaining a public database of Certifying Authorities’ disclosure records Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Blocking access to public information through websites Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Specifying conditions for Certifying Authorities’ business practices Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Controller of Certifying Authorities does not block access to information; Section 69A confers that power. All other listed functions—setting standards, certifying keys, maintaining disclosure databases, specifying business conditions—are statutory responsibilities. Option D is correct. Differentiating powers avoids misapplication of authority in compliance and advisory practice.
