Applicability
DPDP Act for hospitals, clinics and health apps: what applies
The DPDP Act has no health data category, and section 7, not in force until a computed 13 May 2027, names no routine treatment clause. That date is interpretation until officially confirmed. On this site's reading, consent and 3 legitimate uses do most of the work; plus child patient relief, the guardian gap, records and the SPDI Rules meanwhile.
