Risk Return Trade off in BPOs

India is embarking on a major review of the Information Technology Act which was passed with effect from October 17, 2000. Recent frauds of the Delhi MMS case and Gurgaon BPO Cases have increased the demand from the media for "Stricter IT Laws". In this scenario, Naavi.org is presenting a series of suggestions for the consideration of the MCIT while addressing the amendments and request comments from the public so that the Ministry will have the benefit of an opportunity to consider the public views in this regard.

Suggestion XIV: Enhancing Civil Liabilities

In order to provide for compensation in excess of RS 1 crore where required, an amendment may be added as Section 45 A

“Where the actual damage suffered by a person under any contravention of the Act is more than Rs 1 Crore, such claim of damages in excess of Rs 1 crore shall be a subject matter of an appeal on the adjudicator’s decision”
