Cabinet nod to India’s initial Information Protection Bill

The personal data protection bill can become the foundation for the country’s legal safeguards for individual privacy. Penalty for breach of information would land offenders in serious trouble.


The Union Cabinet approved on Wednesday the country’s first proposed law to regulate how individuals and organizations handle digital data of Indian citizens, introducing new provisions that, while diluting some of the contentious “localization” requirements, could now require companies to carry out the real-name verification of users, according to officials familiar with the draft. The punishment for disclosure of information in breach of lawful contract and imprisonment under the IT Act may be for a term not exceeding three years, or with a fine which may be Indian Rupees 5 million or with both.

The personal data protection bill, once approved by Parliament, will be the foundation for the country’s legal safeguards for individual privacy, which was held by the Supreme Court as a fundamental right in a ruling in 2017.

“The protection of personal data is a very important subject globally. How that will be done [here] and how work will progress keeping India’s interest and people’s interest in mind, this is what this bill is about,” said Union information and broadcasting minister Prakash Javadekar at a briefing about the Cabinet’s decisions.

“Information that is neither classified as critical nor as sensitive will not need to be storied in India if the fiduciary obtains the consent of the user to send such data abroad,” a senior official said, asking not to be named. A fiduciary is any individual or organization, whether private or government, that handles data.

“The idea behind not requiring non-sensitive, non-critical data to be mandatorily kept in India is that Indian IT entrepreneurs might be badly affected if there are retaliatory localization attempts by other countries,” a second official added.

Legal experts said the law is a crucial first step in order to set up a legal framework that protects privacy. “The data protection law is an imperative foundation for right to privacy,” said Arghya Sengupta, research director, Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy. Sengupta was among the members of the Srikrishna committee.

“There has been a lot of talk about exemptions. The data protection law cannot be turned into an anti-surveillance law. That has to be a different law. Data protection law can be the first word on the debate surrounding surveillance but not the last,” he added.

Recalling how Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie Pehla Nasha, Deepak Tijori “I was shocked by it.”

Recently, Deepak Tijori revealed some startling trivia about his 1990 film Pehla Nasha. He remembered when Saif was urged not to promote the film by Amrita Singh.

Tipppsy, the next film directed by Deepak Tijori, marks his return to directing. The actor-director is never afraid to speak openly about his colleagues. In a recent Zoom TV interview, Deepak remembered that Amrita Singh had previously advised Saif Ali Khan not to back Deepak’s movie Pehla Nasha.

In addition to starring in several films in the 1990s with Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Roy, and Aamir Khan, Deepak also portrayed the lead in Pehla Nasha. The actor revealed that there was a scene in the Ashuotsh Gowariker-directed movie when Saif, Rahul Roy, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan made cameo appearances.

According to Deepak Tijori, Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie.

When asked if Bollywood performers were friendly at parties but did not promote one other’s films, he responded, “Yeah, I guess I could probably tell you a personal experience.” I am referring about 1993 here. We were working on a movie named Pehla Nasha back in 1993. Surprisingly, there was a moment in the movie when everyone wants celebrities to attend a character’s debut. We had buddies, and the director was Ashutosh Gowariker. Therefore, I was taken aback when this particular occurrence occurred.”

According to Deepak, Amrita advised Saif not to back him.

He went on, “It seems that Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Aamir Khan were on their way.” Thus, Saif was reading, and this was similar to his interpretation of it when he got ready at home. Amrita Singh, his former spouse, questioned him, “What are you doing?” To what destination are you heading? “I’m heading to a premiere,” he declared. I’m heading out to shoot. I’m going to be involved with Deepak’s debut. “Really?” was her question. In what way is this possible? You know, we never did all these things. Who takes this action? similar to when you go and help someone on a premiere. That was a moment, then, and I was shocked by it. Evidently, something didn’t truly exist back then (days).

Concerning Pehla Nasha
