DPDPA Compliance for Indian Enterprises
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA) is India's comprehensive data protection law, governing how organizations collect, store, process, and transfer personal data of Indian citizens. With penalties up to Rs 250 crore for non-compliance, DPDPA demands systematic implementation across technology, processes, and governance. DPDPA compliance intersects with multiple Indian regulatory requirements: CERT-In's 6-hour incident reporting mandate, RBI's cybersecurity framework for financial institutions, SEBI's cybersecurity guidelines for listed entities, and IRDAI's data governance norms for insurance companies. Opsio's compliance services address all these frameworks holistically.

DPDPA Compliance Services — Digital Personal Data Protection for Indian Enterprises — FAQ
What is DPDPA?
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA) is India's comprehensive data protection law. It governs how organizations collect, store, process, and transfer personal data of Indian citizens (data principals). Key requirements include lawful consent, data localization, breach notification, data principal rights, and penalties up to Rs 250 crore for violations.
When does DPDPA enforcement begin?
DPDPA was enacted in August 2023. The government is implementing it in phases through section-wise notifications. Organizations should prepare now as enforcement can begin with minimal notice. Opsio recommends starting with a gap assessment and implementing foundational controls while monitoring government notifications.
How does DPDPA differ from GDPR?
DPDPA is simpler than GDPR with fewer obligations but higher maximum penalties (Rs 250 crore vs EUR 20 million). DPDPA focuses on consent-based processing, does not have a legitimate interest basis, has stricter data localization requirements, and includes specific provisions for Indian government data access. Organizations compliant with GDPR have a strong foundation but need India-specific adaptations.
