The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) has fundamentally reshaped how organisations in India will handle personal data. The legislative intent of this framework is to provide a set of enforceable rights to the Data Principals to exercise control over their personal information. These rights, known collectively as Data Subject Requests (DSRs), require organisations to respond to demands for access, correction, erasure, and grievance redressal within strict statutory timelines as provided under the DPDP Act and Rules.

The practical application of Section 17(2)(b) of the DPDPA is defined by a strict boundary between utility and individual impact. While the Act grants fiduciaries the flexibility to process data for research, archiving, and statistical analysis without the standard consent hurdles, this privilege is entirely contingent on a non-decisional framework.
