The Digital India Act is a proposed law meant to replace the IT Act, 2000. We have not found an official bill or draft. Primary source not yet confirmed. Personal data is handled separately: consent obligations sit under the DPDP Act, 2023, including the Consent Manager regime.

In plain English: track this because it may change the platform rules if it is ever passed. Your live duties today still come from the IT Act, the Intermediary Rules, and the Telecommunications Act.

Do you also handle user data as an intermediary (a platform that hosts or carries other people's content)? Check whether DPDP obligations apply to you too.
