🇮🇳 DPDP Act 2023 — Now Enforced

From Zero to DPDP-Ready in 1 Day

Most Indian companies don't realise the DPDP Act is already enforced — with fines up to ₹250 Crore per violation. They have nothing in place: no consent records, no audit log, no way to handle erasure requests. Databunker provides consent management and a tamper-evident audit log in 24 hours.

The DPDP Compliance Challenge for Indian Companies

DPDP enforcement landed faster than engineering teams could react. The typical Indian company is missing all four of the things regulators will ask for.

Fines Up to ₹250 Crore Per Violation

The Data Protection Board can levy up to ₹250 Crore per violation — easily existential for a growing Indian company. Penalties are per-incident, not annual.

No Audit Log = No Defence

When the regulator asks "who accessed this data principal's record on 14 March?", silence is admission. Most Indian companies can't answer the question at all.

Consent Is a Notion Doc, Not a Ledger

A checkbox no one logs is not consent. DPDP §6 requires explicit, withdrawable, evidence-able consent — produceable on demand for every data principal.

Erasure Won't Scale Manually

Data principals can demand erasure across every system that holds their data — CRMs, ERPs, support desks, payment gateways. Manual fulfilment breaks at the first hundred requests.

DPDP Act Compliance FAQs

Common questions from Indian companies preparing for DPDP compliance

Start with Databunker DPO — connect your existing systems without any code changes:

  • Day 1–3: Connect your primary CRM and customer database to DPO
  • Week 1–2: Add remaining data sources (OMS, helpdesk, marketing platforms)
  • Week 2–3: Run Radar to scan your cloud or database for compliance gaps
  • Ongoing: Modernize application code to Databunker Pro at your own pace

You can be demonstrably DPDP-compliant for data principal rights within weeks, even with complex legacy infrastructure.

Cognito handles authentication well, but it does not provide what DPDP requires:

  • Cognito stores PII in AWS-managed pools — you can't enforce data residency in India
  • Erasure requests require manual cleanup across Cognito and your own database
  • No record versioning, no auto-expiration, no per-record encryption
  • No built-in data principal rights automation

Databunker Pro can complement or replace Cognito's user store, giving you DPDP compliance, Indian data residency, and all the security features Cognito lacks.

The DPDP Act grants Indian data principals the following rights:

  • Right to access: Users can request a summary of what personal data you hold about them
  • Right to correction: Users can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Right to erasure: Users can request deletion of their personal data
  • Right to grievance redressal: Users must be able to raise complaints and get responses
  • Right to nominate: Users can nominate someone to exercise rights on their behalf

Databunker DPO automates all of these across your connected systems. Databunker Pro makes erasure and access trivially simple once your code is migrated.

Yes, fully. Databunker Pro is self-hosted on your own infrastructure:

  • Deploy on AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1), Azure India Central, or your own on-premises data centers
  • All personal data encrypted and stored within Indian jurisdiction
  • No data leaves your infrastructure — not even for analytics or telemetry
  • You maintain complete control of encryption keys

This fully satisfies any data localization expectations under the DPDP Act and RBI guidelines.
