Current status

SPDI Rules 2011: still in force, and what the DPDP Act does to them

On the Gazette prints on file, read as at 6 September 2026, the Information Technology SPDI Rules 2011 still bind a body corporate. Rule 3 is where sensitive personal data is defined in Indian law, and section 44(2) of the DPDP Act, which directs the omission of section 43A, has not commenced.

Rights

Can I sue under the DPDP Act? The Act has no compensation route

The DPDP Act 2023 gives a Data Principal no right to sue and no compensation. Section 39 bars civil courts from matters the Board is empowered over. On the India Code print dated 27 June 2025 the older section 43A route was intact, and it is an adjudication rather than a lawsuit.
