This bill seems to be drafted on the lines of GDPR but exempts govt. entities.
Strong regulation on social media:
(Page 41): the Central govt may notify “social media intermediary “whose actions have significant impact on electoral democracy, security of the State, public order or the sovereignty and integrity of India” as a significant data fiduciary.
Data fiduciaries will need to verify a child age & obtain consent of their guardian. Data Protection Authority can classify some as "guardian data fiduciaries" if they target children or process large amount of children’s personal data.
The bill has expanded right to correction to include right to erasure, once the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was processed.

Unlikely to pass in this session but could be taken up in the budget session in February-March.
