Question 1

A growing economy has made it more important now than ever before for India to have comprehensive laws on __________.

ARight to Information

BDispute resolution

CPrivacy

DRight to Internet

Answer : C

India has established privacy regime through a patchwork of legislations and regulations, unlike the European countries that have horizontal privacy laws. The Information Technology Act - IT Act 2000 -- was amended in 2008 to regulate privacy aspects and to provide assurance to customers that their privacy is protected through the use of 'reasonable security practices'. It achieved its purpose to some extent, but it does not satisfy all the requirements and expectations of a comprehensive privacy law. To address this, the Indian government is working on a comprehensive Privacy Protection Bill, which is likely to be based on Justice AP Shah Report, to which DSCI and NASSCOM have contributed as members.
