DPDP compliance FAQ
Does DPDP apply to my startup?▼
If you process digital personal data about individuals in India—customers, users, or employees—you should assume DPDP may apply and run a short applicability review. Size alone is not a safe exemption.
What are DPDP penalties?▼
Penalties vary by breach type and can reach very large statutory caps (for example, up to ₹250 crore for certain failures in the published penalty framework). Your exposure depends on facts and governance.
What is the DPDP compliance deadline?▼
Rules are phased. Full enforcement for many operational obligations is tied to timelines published under the framework; we surface May 13, 2027 as the full enforcement milestone on this page for planning purposes.
What is a Significant Data Fiduciary (SDF)?▼
SDFs are a class of Data Fiduciaries designated based on volume, sensitivity, risk, and related factors. They carry additional duties such as appointing a Data Protection Officer and undertaking audits as prescribed.
Do I need a consent manager?▼
Consent Managers are relevant where the framework expects users to manage consent through an authorized manager. Whether you must use one depends on your processing model and regulatory guidance—verify against your facts.
