Quote by Rupinder Malik, Partner JSA – Government of India Releases Long-Awaited Draft Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2023

“The 2022 DPDP Bill has simplified the proposed data protection regime and done away with some contentious clauses which caused industry pushback in earlier versions. Particularly, data mirroring, data localisation requirements, and overall compliances appear to be limited compared to the previous Bill. The legislative intent appears to be tech and IT business friendly, focused on facilitating cross-border data flows. Some aspects that have been watered down could potentially reduce overall protection accorded to individual privacy rights. The positive bit is that the Bill has been drafted in a simpler manner, with less ambiguities”. Rupinder Malik, Partner, JSA (leading national law firm in India)
