In a recent meeting of the officials of MeitY with the ministry, it is reported that the officials suggested the industry to get cracking on the implementation of DPDPA 2023 without waiting for publication of the rules.
This suggests that the MeitY is still not clear on some of the aspects of the law and how it has to be implemented.
In this context the DGPSI which was developed as a “Framework for Implementation” of DPDPA 2023 assumes a much bigger role as a document that would be the codification of the interpretation of DPDPA 2023 for the implementation by the industry.
DGPSI is therefore the “Jurisprudence” for DPDPA 2023. It indicates how the DPDPA 2023 can be interpreted and implemented. The legal basis is implementation as “Due Diligence” under ITA 2000.
