₹50 Crore to ₹250 Crore: that’s the cost of a misstep in complying with India’s new Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act). These fines are applicable per instance of violation.
What are the Penalties under the DPDP Act?
Your business could be liable to pay ₹50 Crore for EACH violation including not collecting free explicit consent, not maintaining verifiable consent records, sharing data without consent, or failure to let users exercise DPDP rights.
Who will adjudicate DPDP violations?
The Data Protection Board (DPB) is the linchpin in the enforcement of the DPDP Act, handling disputes and grievances through a digital office model.
How will the Data Protection Board impose Penalties?
Before filing a complaint with the board, users must first seek grievance redressal from the data fiduciary or its consent manager.
The most important step is to onboard a Consent Manager to effectively manage all your consent obligations.
