The amendment comes within a month of web-based taxi companies being banned in Delhi, after a taxi driver on Uber's network allegedly raped a finance executive early this month.
The company is a facilitator of taxis (therefore an intermediary) and is best governed under the IT Act said Neeraj Singhal, Uber's head of expansion in India.
An Uber cab driver, accused of raping a 27-year-old woman in Delhi, has been arrested in Mathura.
Uber is facing sharp criticism from fellow taxi providers for not following strict security norms leading to the rape of a passenger in New Delhi.
Home-grown taxi booking companies which have a business model similar to Uber's might have stricter security norms imposed on them.
