A lot of groundwork and policy feedback has gone into the initial internal drafts, whether for the Digital India Bill or the DPDP Act, the safeguards for AI, among others. We hope to build on that,” a senior government official said.Stakeholders have expressed concerns on several aspects of the DPDP Act, such as the proposed constitution and composition of the data protection board, the sweeping exemptions given by the government to itself and the rules around the protection of child rights as notified under the Act. "The obligations are stricter, and the data fiduciaries (person or group of persons in possession of personal data) have significant work to be done. Implementing the DPDP without a transition window would lead to inevitable non-compliance or significant impact on business owing to haphazard implementation," she said.
