Data protection Bill in a few months, says IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar

Minister of state of electronics and IT (MeitY) Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Saturday said Personal Data Protection (PDP) Bill, 2019, was ‘a few months away’ and that the government was in the process of finalising the ‘dos and don’ts’ for companies.

“If we have to make a choice between doing something quickly versus doing something right, with a few months delay, we will choose the latter. No one should feel that we are not committed to that (PDP) Bill,” Chandrashekar said at The Indian Express’ Idea Exchange.
