Partner, Avisha Gupta, was quoted in Deccan Herald regarding the recently passed Data Protection Bill by the cabinet. The bill will be tabled before the Parliament in the upcoming Monsoon Session.
She shared her insights stating, “The Bill passed by the cabinet comes post the public consultation process and reportedly some inter-ministerial discussions as well. Some key areas of interest to industry would be permissibility of cross border data transfers, role and powers of the digital protection board, conflict with other overlapping sectoral laws and potential penalties.”
