In fact, there is a realization that the Information Technology Act (2000) without having any provision for data protection and regulation increasingly renders the IT act inadequately in the fast-changing digital age. There is already a demand to have a new Digital India Act that will comprehensively cover all aspects of information technology. Nevertheless, it has to be recorded that IT and the digital revolution had promoted transparency in public life which naturally call for safeguards such as the right to privacy
