Claims:WE CLAIM:
1. A holding apparatus for holding a card, the holding apparatus comprising:
at least two proximity sensors configured to determine orientation of the card when the card is present in the holding apparatus;
a control unit configured to:
determine status of each of the at least two proximity sensors to determine a position of the holding apparatus; and
transmit a control signal to a motor based on the status; and
the motor configured to rotate the card upon receiving the control signal.

2. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the card is an identity card.

3. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein one of the at least two proximity sensors is configured at front side of the holding apparatus and other of the at least two proximity sensors is configured at rear side of the apparatus.

4. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein determining the status comprises:
activating each of the at least two proximity sensors using one or more predetermined activation modes; and
determining status of each of the at least two proximity sensors upon activation of each of the at least two proximity sensors,.

5. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the status of the at least two proximity sensors is at least one of open and close.

6. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the one or more predetermined activation modes comprises:
a Global Positioning System (GPS) mode, wherein the GPS activates each of the at least two proximity sensors when current location of the holding apparatus matches with one or more user defined locations;
a motion detection mode, wherein a motion detection sensor activates each of the at least two proximity sensors upon detecting movement of the user of the holding apparatus; and
a manual selection mode, wherein a selection button is used for manually activating each of the at least two proximity sensors.

7. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit transmits a control signal to the motor for rotating the card when the status of one of the at least two proximity sensors configured at a front side of the holding apparatus is close and the status of other of the at least two proximity sensors configured at a rear side of the holding apparatus is open.

8. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit provides a notification to the user of the holding apparatus when the status of each of the at least two proximity sensors is same.

9. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further comprises a battery to power the holding apparatus.

10. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further comprises a configuration port to configure the holding apparatus with one or more activation parameters.

11. The holding apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the one or more activation parameters comprises at least one of user selection of one of one or more activation modes, one or more user defined locations, GPS coordinates of the user defined locations, speed of rotation of the motor, level and intensity of notification and frequency of checks on status of the at least two proximity sensors.

12. A method of rotating a card using a holding apparatus, the method comprising:
determining, by at least two proximity sensors, orientation of the card when the card is present in the holding apparatus;
determining, by a control unit configured in the holding apparatus, status of each of the at least two proximity sensors to determine the position of the holding apparatus;
transmitting, by the control unit, a control signal to a motor based on the status; and
rotating, by the motor configured in the holding apparatus, the card upon receiving the control signal.

13. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein one of the at least two proximity sensors is configured at front side of the holding apparatus and other of the at least two proximity sensors are configured at rear side of the apparatus.

14. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein determining the status comprises:
activating each of the at least two proximity sensors using one or more predetermined activation modes; and
determining status of each of the at least two proximity sensors upon activation of each of the at least two proximity sensors.

15. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the status of the at least two proximity sensors is at least one of open and close.

16. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the one or more predetermined activation modes comprises:
activating each of the at least two proximity sensors when current location of the holding apparatus matches with one or more user defined locations;
activating each of the at least two proximity sensors upon detecting movement of the user of the holding apparatus; and
activating each of the at least two proximity sensors manually.

17. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein a control signal is transmitted to the motor when the status of one of the at least two proximity sensors configured at a front side of the holding apparatus is closed and the status of the other of the at least two proximity sensors configured at a rear side of the holding apparatus is open.

18. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprises providing a notification to the user of the holding apparatus when the position status of each of the at least two proximity sensors is same.

19. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprises configuring the holding apparatus with one or more activation parameters using a configuration port in the holding apparatus.

20. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the one or more activation parameters comprises at least one of user selection of one of one or more activation modes, one or more user defined locations and respective GPS coordinates of the user defined locations, speed of rotation of the motor, level and intensity of notification and frequency of checks on status of the at least two proximity sensors.
