ADIF’s work and latest activities

Find out how the Personal Data Protection Bill will impact your startup. The proposed revision of the Personal Data Protection (PDP) Bill is likely to significantly change the way data is collected and processed in India. It will impact businesses not only from a data privacy and protection perspective but also from an operations perspective.

To help businesses – especially Indian startups – understand the implications of the Bill and plan a compliance strategy, we are hosting an online session on February 9 at 4PM IST to cover the following themes: 

  • Expansion of the scope of the Bill to include Non-Personal Data and its implications

  • Additional compliances that are expected and potential impact on the industry

  • Impact of the cross-border transfer and data localisation provisions 

  • Provisions on the processing of children’s data

  • Exemptions offered to govt entities and smaller entities doing manual processing

  • Liabilities for data fiduciaries and data processors

Through the session, ADIF hopes to seek inputs and suggestions on potential representations that can be made to the government and/or parliament as they consider the changes proposed by the JPC.

The main problem here is the way “fair market” value is calculated. The tax department bases its calculations on the net assets of the company, but this does not take into account future revenue projections and growth prospects. The tax is also not levied on foreign investments.
