'Govt likely to release draft data protection rules within a month'

The minister said the government has first worked on digital implementation of the Act and framed rules accordingly.

“The framework is ready, and the draft rules for consultation are expected to be released within a month,” Vaishnaw told reporters here.

He said the final draft of the rules was reviewed last week, and it is expected to be in the public domain within a month.

The minister said the language of the rules will be very simple.

The rules will be framed after consultation and will need to be placed before Parliament before implementation.

The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill was approved by Parliament on August 9, 2023 -- about six years after the Supreme Court declared the ‘Right to Privacy’ as a fundamental right.

The Act has provisions to curb the misuse of individuals’ data by online platforms and introduces several compliance requirements for the collection and processing of personal data and provisions for up to Rs 250 crore penalty for any data breach.
