While we are awaiting the release of DPDPA Rules, Ministry is busy in releasing rules under PROGA 2025, Amendment to Intermediary Guidelines for Synthetic Content and the Telecom Regulations Act 2023. All these three have impact on DPDPA and will have multiple authorities to which Chairman and Members are to be appointed.
We can obviously guess that the matrix of who will be the Chairman of DPB, Who will be the Chairman of Online Gaming Authority, Who will head the Grievance Appellate Committee under Intermediary Guidelines is too complicated for the MeitY to finalize within the 10 days time Mr Ashwini Vaishnaw had set ending September 28, 2025.
Public comments are open on the PROGA rules till 31st October, Intermediary Guidelines upto November 6 . The telecom rules have already been finalized on 22nd October 2025.
Understanding the interplay of all these rules against the proposed final rules under DPDPA is a nightmare for DPOs.
As a prelude to the C.DPO.DA. Certification program which FDPPI is conducting in Mumbai on Nov 1 and 2, a preliminary discussion on these rules is being organized as a Linkedin-live session on 27th October 2025 at 7.00 pm.
