The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) is India's comprehensive data privacy legislation. It establishes clear obligations for organisations that collect and process personal data of Indian residents, with penalties of up to ₹250 crore for non-compliance.
Data Fiduciary Obligations
Every organisation processing personal data (Data Fiduciary) must ensure lawful purpose, data minimisation, storage limitation, and accuracy of personal data collected.
Consent Management
The DPDP Act mandates free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous consent. Organisations must implement consent management platforms with easy withdrawal mechanisms.
Significant Data Fiduciary
Organisations designated as Significant Data Fiduciaries face additional obligations — mandatory DPO appointment, periodic Data Protection Impact Assessments, and independent audits.
Data Protection Board of India
The Data Protection Board adjudicates complaints and imposes penalties. Non-compliance can result in fines up to ₹250 crore per instance, making proactive compliance essential.

Drafting DPDP-compliant privacy notices, data processing agreements, data retention policies, and breach notification procedures aligned with the Act's requirements.

Cross-Border Data Transfer Under DPDP Act
The DPDP Act permits data transfers to countries not restricted by the Central Government. Organisations must ensure adequate safeguards for international data flows:
Permitted Jurisdictions
Transfer of personal data is allowed to all countries except those specifically restricted by government notification — a whitelist approach.
Contractual Safeguards
Implement data processing agreements with overseas processors that meet DPDP Act obligations for data security, breach notification, and data subject rights.
