The DPDP Bill, 2022, however, empowers the government to draft rules and notifications on a vast range of issues. For instance, the Union government can exempt any government or even private sector entity from the application of provisions of the law by merely issuing a notification, potentially resulting in immense violations of citizens’ privacy.   On the other hand, small NGOs, research organisations, associations of persons, and opposition parties that the government chooses not to include in the notification would have to set up systems to comply with the stringent obligations of a data fiduciary as described in the law.   Third, it is imperative that the oversight body set up under the legislation is adequately independent to act on violations of the law by government entities.   The draft Bill does not ensure autonomy of the Data Protection Board – the institution responsible for the enforcement of provisions of the law. The Union government is empowered to determine the strength and composition of the Board, as well as the process of selection and removal of its chairperson and other members.    Further, the chief executive responsible for managing the Board is to be appointed by the government, giving it direct control over the institution.
