Govt may give 6 months to industry to adjust to new data rules: MoS IT

The government may give around six months to industry to align with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Monday said.

However, the actual transition time will be decided after consultation with stakeholders, he added.

During a fireside chat session with students at Delhi University, Chandrasekhar said the government is ready with all rules and ready to notify the Data Protection Board soon.

The minister said the migration to the new regime should not lead to any disruption in the businesses.
