Government Approves Draft Bill Setting New Standards for Digital Personal Data Protection
The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2025 has been approved by the Government of India, marking a major milestone in India’s journey toward creating a strong data privacy ecosystem. The Bill sets new benchmarks for how personal digital data is protected, processed, and managed under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). This initiative reflects the government’s focus on safeguarding citizens’ privacy while enabling the sustainable growth of India’s digital economy.
Key Highlights of the Draft Bill
Phased Implementation:
The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2025 introduces a phased enforcement model. The process begins with the formation of the Data Protection Board (DP Board), followed by the gradual implementation of core data protection provisions — covering consent, data transparency, and breach notification systems.
Consent and Transparency:
Under the new India data privacy law, organizations handling personal data — known as data fiduciaries — must obtain clear, informed consent from users before collecting sensitive information. They must disclose how data will be used, the third parties involved, and the rights individuals have under the law.
Data Principal Rights:
Citizens gain new rights to correct or erase personal information, and even appoint digital nominees to manage their data legacy. The Bill strengthens protections for children and differently-abled individuals, ensuring inclusivity in the privacy framework.
Cross-Border Data Transfer Controls:
The Bill introduces stricter regulations on data transfers outside India. Such transfers now require government approval and adherence to personal data protection regulations, ensuring that Indian citizens’ data is stored and processed safely.
Differentiated Compliance:
Startups and MSMEs receive reduced compliance requirements, whereas significant data fiduciaries handling vast or sensitive datasets must meet stricter auditing and reporting obligations. This graded approach promotes digital security compliance while encouraging innovation.
Digital-First Governance:
The Data Protection Board will function as a fully digital office, prioritizing swift resolution of privacy complaints and ensuring transparency in consent management and enforcement.
