What is the Data Protection Board?
The DPB is the central authority established under the DPDP Act to investigate, adjudicate, and impose penalties that can reach up to ₹250 Crore per violation.
Key Powers and Functions
The DPB can investigate and enforce DPDP Act violations, manage data breaches, and adjudicate complaints from Data Principals, state/central governments, or courts.

DPB’s Structure and Operations
The DPB is structured to function independently, free from external influence, and operates primarily as a digital office.
The DPB is yet to be officially established. Businesses must stay updated on the timeline for its formation, as this will mark the beginning of enforcement actions.
