With regard to S. 18 of the IT Act, 2000, which deals with the functions of the controller of certifying authority, which one of the following statement is incorrect ?

  • A.Controller has to exercise supervision over the activities of Certifying Authority
  • B.Controller has to laid down the standards to be maintained by Certifying Authority
  • C.Controller has to divide and adjudicate the disputes between Certifying Authority
  • D.Controller has to specify the conditions subject to which the Certifying Authorities shall conduct their business

Answer: C

The incorrect statement is that the Controller has to divide and adjudicate the disputes between Certifying Authorities.

Section 18 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 lists the Controller's functions, among them exercising supervision over the activities of Certifying Authorities, laying down the standards to be maintained by them, and specifying the conditions subject to which they shall conduct their business. Those are options A, B and D.

The section also makes the Controller resolve any conflict of interests between Certifying Authorities and subscribers, but it does not give him a function of adjudicating disputes between Certifying Authorities themselves, which makes option C the incorrect statement.
