Political Exchange: Here's what experts make of the Data Protection Bill

It's the first major step to legally protect the personal data of Indian citizens. The union cabinet has cleared the Data Protection Bill. The move comes nearly a year after Justice Srikrishna Committee submitted its report to the government on data protection. The bill has not been made public yet. But, it could have serious ramifications for companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google and others who process, store and transfer Indian consumer's data. The bill is also likely to be tabled in the parliament in the current winter session. CNBC-TV18 spoke to Mishi Choudhary Data Protection/Technology Lawyer, Siddharth Vishwanath Partner and Leader, Cyber Security at PwC India, Arghya Sengupta Founder of Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, NS Nappinai Advocate Cyber Law to discuss the framework of the bill.
