Applicability
Section 17 of the DPDP Act: what the exemptions actually switch off
Section 17(1) is not in force: from a computed 13 May 2027 it disapplies Chapter II except sections 8(1) and 8(5), Chapter III and section 16. It reaches only the 6 situations in clauses (a) to (f). The verified clause by clause map, with that date interpretation until officially confirmed.
