India has yet to pass a data protection law. However, the Indian legislator amended the Information Technology Act (2000) (“Information Technology Act”) to include Articles 43A and 72A, which give entitlement to compensation in the event of disclosure of inappropriate personal information. The Indian Central Government subsequently issued the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules 2011 (the “Rules”) under Section 43A of the Information Technology. A clarification of the above rules posts on August 24, 2011 (the “Clarification”). The rules have imposed additional requirements on business and commercial entities in India for the collection and disclosure of sensitive data or personal information that has certain similarities with the GDPR and the Data Protection Directive.
