assiduity will face hurdles while serving global clients,” the core committee said, adding that the being legal vacuum on data protection is an violation of the abecedarian right to privacy.

“Whether or not the new bill addresses the being enterprises raised by companies and sequestration lawyers, the delay for a particular data protection law in India gets longer,” a statement of NCDC reads.
