India has recently seen a flurry of interesting developments in the data privacy space, potentially having wide ramifications on India’s thriving technology and start-up ecosystem.
The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 (“Bill”) was introduced in the lower house of Parliament in India on December 11, 2019.
On December 12, 2019, the Bill was referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee for further debate and examination (“Parliamentary Committee”). The Parliamentary Committee has invited comments from stakeholders on the Bill over a three week period until February 25, 2020, based on which further changes may be made in the Bill, along with the inputs of the Parliamentary Committee.
This Bill is a landmark development in the Indian legal landscape as it is the first-of-its-kind data protection law. The Bill finally addresses questions to which answers have been long awaited, such as protection of wider categories of data, cross-border data flows, data localization, and enhanced obligations on data controllers.
The Indian technology and start-up ecosystem has been expanding exponentially over the last few years, aided by various Government initiatives such as the start-up policy, tax incentives, Digital India, Make in India and the like. However, this Bill proposed may not be on the same lines of aiding start-ups and facilitating innovation.
We focus on the impact that this Bill may have on the start-up space and whether this draft law proposed may be a bust or a boost for start-ups in India.
