India is advancing towards a citizen-centric digital governance ecosystem. In this direction, the Department of Posts (DoP), Ministry of Communications, proposes the Digital Hub for Reference and Unique Virtual Address (DHRUVA) to establish a standardized, interoperable, and user-friendly digital addressing system as part of the national digital public infrastructure. To provide legislative backing to this initiative, draft amendments to the Post Office Act, 2023 have been prepared based on stakeholder consultations. The proposed framework aims to enable secure, consent-based address management and “Address as a Service (AaaS).”

The Department of Posts, in collaboration with MyGov, invites citizens to share their suggestions/ comments on the draft amendments.

Saving lives where roads have no names. A major hurdle for 108 Ambulance services in rural India is 'location unfamiliarity.' Descriptive addresses lead to critical delays in the 'Golden Hour.' I propose that the DHRUVA amendment mandates Inter-Departmental Data Sharing with State Emergency Response Centers. Every rural household should be encouraged to display their 10-digit DIGIPIN or DHRUVA QR code outside their home. This would allow an ambulance driver to navigate directly to a remote farmhouse using precise geocoding, bypassing the need for complex verbal directions.

Security & Privacy Conscious (Focus on Safeguards):- Analytical, cautious, and rights-focused. "While the DHRUVA framework offers clear benefits for governance and logistics, the draft amendments must prioritize robust data protection. Since a 'Unique Virtual Address' essentially maps a person’s identity to a physical location, the 'consent-based' mechanism mentioned must be strictly enforced with clear 'Right to be Forgotten' provisions. I suggest the Bill include specific penalties for Address Service Providers (ASPs) who misuse location data beyond the purpose for which consent was granted. Furthermore, the central governance entity should operate with high transparency to prevent unauthorized surveillance
