Govt to introduce Data Bill in LS tomorrow

The government will introduce the 'Digital Personal Data Protection Bill' (DPDP) on Thursday in the Lok Sabha, said a media report quoting an official notification.

The Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw will introduce the bill in the Lok Sabha, according to the report.

This is the second time that the government is attempting to launch the bill. The earlier version of the privacy bill was withdrawn last year in August. The Union Cabinet approved the DPDP bill recently. It will allow voluntary disclosures of data breaches by companies and facilitate dispute resolution.

The bill will also allow companies to export data to countries except those prohibited by the government.
