DPDPA Compliance Timeline Reduced by MEITY
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) has signaled a faster implementation of the DPDPA 2023 rules. Businesses need to act now.
Urgent Update for Indian Businesses
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) has indicated a reduced timeline for the full enforcement of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023. Originally expected to allow a longer grace period, recent announcements suggest that businesses will need to demonstrate compliance much sooner than anticipated.
What This Means for You
If you have been delaying your compliance journey, the window of opportunity is closing. The "wait and see" approach is no longer viable. Key requirements such as Consent Management, Data Fiduciary obligations, and Grievance Redressal mechanisms must be in place.
Key Deadlines to Watch
- Consent Manager Registration: Expected to open soon.
- Data Fiduciary Reporting: Timelines likely shortened to 3-6 months post-notification.
Start your compliance journey today to avoid penalties that can reach up to ₹250 Crores.
