Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has announced that the government is set to release long-awaited draft rules for the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act within a month.
The minister said the government has first worked on digital implementation of the Act and framed rules accordingly.
“We have first worked on the digital implementation of the Act and framed the rules accordingly. The framework is ready, and the draft rules for consultation are expected to be released within a month,” Vaishnaw said.
The minister also noted that the final draft of the rules was reviewed last week.
“It is expected to be in the public domain within a month for consultation,” he added.
The DPDP Act received presidential assent on August 12 last year. It is yet to be completely implemented because of pending notification of the rules.
Under MeitY, the digital platform for the Data Protection Board is being developed and National Information Centre and/or Digital India Corporation will be responsible for the creation.
The minister said that the digital platform is also in advanced stages.
