Common questions

Frequently asked questions

When do the DPDP obligations apply?

The rollout is phased. The Consent Manager framework begins on 13 November 2026, and the main data-fiduciary obligations begin on 13 May 2027, unless the timeline is changed.

Does the Act apply to a small business?

It applies to the processing of digital personal data. Whether any relaxation applies depends on the entity and the processing, so a short assessment is the right first step.

Who enforces the Act?

The Data Protection Board of India. Appeals lie to the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT).
