Quote in regard with the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill being approved by the Union Cabinet, today.
“Digital Personal Data Protection Bill is a much awaited legislation. The last version of the Bill was much simpler form than the earlier versions. Various industries had given feedback on several aspects e.g. cross border transfer, handling of children’s data, deemed consent provisions, the powers of the board in levying penalties. Hopefully, the government has addressed industry concerns in the next version. The government has been given rule making power on several areas. The industry will need to work closely with the government so that the rules are simple and implementable, especially for the start-up ecosystem.”
