DC Edit | Build consensus on Data Bill

Deccan Chronicle  

The highly crucial Digital Personal Data Protection Bill is likely to be tabled in Parliament in the upcoming Monsoon Session, starting July 20, after it was approved by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday. Tabled first in 2019, and followed up with multiple revisions, the bill seeks to provide an overarching framework of technology regulations, as it includes the Digital India Bill, which is expected to replace the IT Act, 2000, the Indian Telecommunication Bill and a policy for non-personal data governance. While the Bill, once passed, will play a significant role in India’s trade negotiations with other countries, RTI activists contend that the law will dilute the Right to Information Act, as it provides for exemptions to the Central governments and its agencies on the grounds of national security and maintaining public order. Extensive consultations over the Bill by the government also indicate that many concerns around grounds of processing and data interception may have been addressed.
