New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said, the recent Supreme Court order on the right to privacy lays down the correct exemptions which protects Aadhar. 

He was responding to a question from a student at the Columbia University in New York on how the government is planning to handle Aadhar after the recent Supreme Court decision on the right to privacy.

Mr Jaitley is in the United States to attend the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. 

In its judgement in August, a nine-judge bench decreed that that right to privacy is part of the fundamental rights to life and liberty enshrined in the Constitution.
