What is the DPDP Act for HR?

India's data protection law and what it means for employee data.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 sets rules for handling personal data, which includes employee data.

People have rights such as access, correction, erasure and complaint. Companies have duties around consent, security and breach reporting.

HR holds a lot of personal data, so records, access and requests need a clear process.

Rules under the Act are being phased in, so check the current position with your adviser.

Dates and rules change. Check the current notification or ask your adviser before relying on this page.
