A new draft of India’s data protection bill is set to be debated in Parliament, but even before discussion begins, privacy and security experts are saying that the proposed legislation lacks clarity on key issues.

The government is expected to introduce the bill in Parliament in the budget session of 2023, though the precise date for discussion of the draft has not been set.
