Implications of India’s Data Protection Framework on Businesses
Akanksha Redij (Research and Editorial) The evolution and development because of the internet have opened an entirely new market for business and have thrown new challenges before them. Business activities conducted in this information age are mainly concentrated on the creation, storage, and exchange of data and it is known as data transaction. But to protect this kind of data transaction which has now become the soul of any business activity, there is no specific data protection regime in India. In today’s time, it is regulated by piecemeal provisions of the IT Amendment Act, 2008 -43A and section 72A. In 2019, the Data Protection Bill was introduced in Lok Sabha but in August 2022 it was withdrawn. This avoidable vacuum is throwing challenges to contemporary business activities which need to be countered at the earliest to achieve stable economic progress in this digital age of businesses. |
