CS Professional · Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) - Principles and Practice · Data Governance

Board member Rohit asks the CS how the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 changed the Information Technology Act, 2000 for compensation on failure to protect data. Which statement is correct per section 44 of the DPDP Act?

Section 44(2) of the DPDP Act, 2023 omits section 43A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, along with clause (ob) in section 87(2). Section 81 is only amended to add a reference to the DPDP Act in its proviso, not removed.

  2. BSection 43A of the IT Act is retained and expanded
  3. CSection 81 of the IT Act is omitted
  4. DSection 87(2) clause (ob) is inserted

Explanation

Section 44(2) of the DPDP Act provides that section 43A of the IT Act shall be omitted, and clause (ob) of section 87(2) is omitted too. Section 81's proviso only gets an added reference to the DPDP Act, so it is not omitted.
