New Delhi: The government informed Parliament that the DPDP Act and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, notified on 13 November 2025, offer a simplified compliance framework for start-ups and selected data fiduciaries. Officials said the government has also notified the Digital Data Protection Board under the Rules. Moreover, they explained that the Act and Rules empower authorities to identify jurisdictions where personal data transfers may face restrictions.
Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Jitin Prasada told the Lok Sabha that the government is working to expand awareness and adoption of the DPDP Act. He said citizens are learning about their rights and responsibilities through several initiatives. In addition, these efforts include workshops, conferences, expert-led sessions and digital outreach programmes that support smooth implementation.
