The draft of the Personal Data Protection Act 2018 has been submitted by the Justice Srikrishna Committee along with its report. Copies of both are available at www.pdpa2018.in.
The Government of India has requested for public comments to be submitted on the draft Bill which is in the Parliament before October 10, 2018.
The comments can be submitted at http://meity.gov.in/content/data-protection-bill-feedback
Naavi.org has discussed this subject extensively ever since the Srikrishna Committee has come into existence. Some suggestions were submitted by Naavi.org during the time the Committee held its discussions. Some were submitted after the Committee submitted its reports. After the recent Aadhaar Judgement, another list of comments on the impact of this judgement on Privacy has also been separately recorded so that there is a large number of thoughts before the public to debate about.
I wish public go through all these comments and suggestions and whether they agree or disagree, use them to stir up their own thoughts on the subject so that they can formulate their own comments and present it to the Government.
I hope that the following list of articles provide the information that one may look for as background material for forming their individual opinion.
