On Friday, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that Apple has to reply to the notice which needs to be done by their global cyber security team.
«They have to come here and answer those questions. Basic issue is ongoing,» the minister told reporters.
He said that the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-In has met local representatives of Apple but the issue is beyond their capability to respond.
«It is their cyber security people who have to come and meet CERT-In and they will come all the way from the US,» the minister said.
When asked about the deadline given to Apple to submit its response, the minister said he is not certain about the dates but expects the team to meet Cert-In officials sometime this month.
A Meity official said that the Apple cyber security team will come this month only if they get a visa on time.
