DPDP Act — Now Enforceable

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act was enacted on 11 August 2023. The DPDP Rules were officially notified in November 2025, triggering a 12-month compliance window. Organizations must comply or face penalties up to ₹250 Crore per violation. Every day of non-compliance is a legal and financial risk.

India's First Comprehensive Data Protection Law

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is India's landmark legislation governing the processing of digital personal data. It establishes a robust framework recognizing the rights of individuals (Data Principals) while acknowledging the legitimate need for processing personal data.

The Act covers 40 Sections addressing obligations of Data Fiduciaries, rights of Data Principals, children's data protection, cross-border transfers, and a structured penalties regime enforced by the Data Protection Board of India.
