It's a Tight Squeeze for India's CRA's

November 27, 2025 posted by Steve Brownstein

The countdown is officially on, and it's a tight squeeze for compliance teams.

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act, 2023) is being operationalized in staggered phases, with the final, major compliance requirements—including robust consent standards and strict data breach rules—coming fully into force by May 2027.

For Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) operating in India, this isn't a "soft launch." It means every single check must meet global standards for consent, accuracy, and purpose limitation. The existing challenges of decentralized data access in India will now be paired with multi-crore penalties for failure.

The race is now to rewrite policies, audit systems, and implement the necessary technological safeguards before the deadline hits.
