Once enacted, data Bill to create new functionalities for digital platforms

Digital platforms like apps and websites will have a list of tasks ahead of them once the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023, gets enacted. They may need to build several functionalities and revamp some of their data-handling processes.

The government has introduced the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023, in the Lok Sabha to outline the lawful collection, processing and safeguarding of private data, and penalties of up to Rs 250 crore in case of data breaches.
