The government has withdrawn the Personal Data Protection Bill from Lok Sabha and said it will come out with a ‘set of fresh legislations’ that will be better suited for a digital economy. 
According to reports, the Modi govt may replace it more than one bill, dealing with privacy and cyber security. The new set of bills may be introduced in the Winter Session of the Parliament. 
The bill was introduced on 11 December 2019 and was referred to the Joint Committee of the Houses for examination. The report of the JCP was presented to Lok Sabha in December 2021.
According to a govt statement circulated to Lok Sabha members, the 2019 Bill was deliberated in great detail by the Joint Committee, which proposed 81 amendments and 12 recommendations.
The govt said that it is considering the suggestions made by the panel and therefore withdrawing the Personal Data Protection Bill. 
The withdrawn Bill had proposed restrictions on the use of personal data without the explicit consent of citizens. It had also sought to provide the government with powers to give exemptions to its probe agencies from the provisions of the Act, a move that was strongly opposed by the opposition MPs who had filed their dissent notes.
It had also proposed the setting up of a Data Protection Authority.
It had also proposed to specify the flow and usage of personal data, protect the rights of individuals whose personal data are processed, as it works out the framework for the cross-border transfer, accountability of entities processing data, and moots remedies for unauthorised and harmful processing.

Technically Speaking, How Can I Safeguard My Online Data & Information? Part 2 with Apar Gupta

As technology evolves, so does our perception of what constitutes privacy and security. Over the past few years, privacy has grown from being a comfort to being recognised as a fundamental right in India.

However, this right needs to be matched by our own capabilities to safeguard this data, especially in the age of instant messaging. In Part 2 of The Bastion&rsquo;s conversation with Apar Gupta of the Internet Freedom Foundation, we delve into what each of us can do in our individual capacity to safeguard our personal data and information on our devices.
