Delhi/Hyderabad, Aug 7 (Hydnow): The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill passed in Lok Sabha with a voice vote, bringing India a step closer to its first law that establishes how private or government entities can use or process citizens’ data.
Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw moved the bill in the Lok Sabha. The bill will now head to the Rajya Sabha, where the ruling coalition is short of the majority mark.
The opposition, which has expressed concerns over the legislation, has been demanding that the bill be sent to a parliamentary panel for further deliberations.
