India Data Law

A free reference for India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025, built on primary sources and kept current.

India's data protection law is spread across a statute, a set of rules notified in stages, a regulator that is still being constituted, and a compliance deadline in 2027. Most of what is written about it is published by companies selling compliance services.

This site is not one of them. It has nothing to sell, takes no advertising, and cites the primary document behind every claim it makes.

What is being built

• A status tracker showing which provisions of the Act and Rules are actually in force, and from when.
• A tracker for the Data Protection Board — its constitution, appointments and orders.
• Plain-English answers to the questions people are actually asking about obligations, timelines and rights.
