Registration for Training Programs with FDPPI
DPDPA 2023 was passed into a law by the Indian Parliament on August 7th and 9th 2023 and gazette notified with Presidential assent on August 11 2023.
Immediately it became part of the “Due Diligence” implementation of Information Technology Act 2000 as a legislative intention to expand Section 43A.
The timeline of implementation has been set with the notification of the Rules on November 13, 2025.
With this, the status of DPDPA as “Reasonable Security Practice” and “Due Diligence” under ITA 2000 is further established. This status will continue till the Act becomes fully effective on May 13 2027. After May 13, 2027, Section 43A of ITA 2000 will be fully replaced by DPDPA and the penalties under Section 33 of DPDPA will be applicable.
Since compliance of DPDPA is a journey, Organizations need to start taking steps for implementation starting with discovery of DPDPA Protected Data (DPD), Classification of DPD, Creating an inventory of DPD, Creating an inventory of Processes, followed by other requirements.
The DGPSI(Data Governance and Protection Standard of India) Framework developed by FDPPI will be the perfect guideline for the implementation and provides an extension for the AI environment as well.
