Ahead of the start of the Monsoon session of Parliament, PM Modi stated that the data protection measure, which will be introduced in Parliament, will enhance India’s international reputation once it becomes law.

According to him, this session is crucial due to the nature of the legislation that will be introduced. They have direct effects on citizens. Our younger generations are immersed in the digital realm. The data protection law will inspire confidence in every citizen. The law will also improve the international standing of the nation.

Since the Supreme Court established the Right to Privacy in 2016 as fundamental, several sectors of society have sought legal protections for their privacy.

Due to concerns regarding compliance, the Indian government withdrew the Personal Data Protection Bill in favour of the more recent Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, the first version of which was published last year.

After extensive debate and revision, the bill has been given the green light by the cabinet and is ready to be introduced in Parliament.

After a bill is introduced in Parliament, it can be voted on and passed by both chambers to become law. A legislative committee may decide to conduct additional research on the measure before putting it to a vote.
