A significant amount of work has been done on proposed Digital India Act, and the draft legislative framework to support ‘India’s techade’ is expected by early 2023, Minister of State for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said.

The comments assume significance as India is moving swiftly towards a strong framework to catalyse its digital ambitions and govern online ecosystem, with openness, user safety and trust as the guiding principles.

At the same time, the government has asserted that extensive consultation will go into framing key legislations which are going to be essential building blocks for ‘new India’ and its digital architecture.
