An extended transition period would provide certain data fiduciaries with the necessary time to align their operations with the requirements outlined in the Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
Data Protection Board: Under the DPDP Act, a DPB consisting of a chairperson and members appointed by the central government, will be set up. On receipt of an intimation of personal data breach, the DPB can direct any urgent remedial or mitigation measures, and inquire into such breach, and impose penalty as provided in this Act.
Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that the government expects transition for most of the provisions of the Act, except provisions on age-gating and so on, within 12 months.
