DPDP Rules Finalized, Awaiting Legal Vetting
India is getting new rules to protect your personal information online.
The government, specifically MeitY, has finished writing these rules, called the DPDP Rules.
These rules will control how companies collect, use, and protect your data.
They've sent these rules to the legal team for review, and hope to release them soon.
Once these rules are active, they'll change how businesses handle your data and give you more rights about your data.

The deadline for completion was September 28.
The rules will operationalize the Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
