Risk Return Trade off in BPOs

India is embarking on a major review of the Information Technology Act which was passed with effect from October 17, 2000. Recent frauds of the Delhi MMS case and Gurgaon BPO Cases have increased the demand from the media for "Stricter IT Laws". In this scenario, Naavi.org is presenting a series of suggestions for the consideration of the MCIT while addressing the amendments and request comments from the public so that the Ministry will have the benefit of an opportunity to consider the public views in this regard.

Suggestion XIII: Civil Liabilities for Chapter XI offences

In order to make all criminal offences under the Act also liable for civil liabilities, the following amendment can be made to add section 43(A) under Chapter IX:

“Whoever commits any offence under any of the sections under Chapter XI of this Act shall also be liable to pay damages to the extent of RS 1 crore to the person so affected.”
