Consent
Deemed consent does not exist under the DPDP Act
The DPDP Act 2023 contains no deemed consent and no legitimate interest ground: what replaced them is section 7, not in force until a computed 13 May 2027. That date is interpretation until officially confirmed. Both phrases come from the 2022 consultation draft Bill, which was never introduced in Parliament, and section 7 is headed Certain legitimate uses, with 9 clauses.
