The draft bill proposes a significant increase in penalty amounts of up to Rs 500 crore for violating provisions. It also includes provisions to ease rules on cross-border data flows. The bill establishes a new regulatory body called the Data Protection Board. The board can impose penalties of up to Rs 500 crore for significant non-compliance. The draft bill introduces six types of penalties for non-compliance, including penalties for failure to maintain security safeguards, failure to notify data breaches, and non-fulfillment of obligations related to children's data.
