The Consent Manager Regime under the DPDP Act and Rules
Posted On - 13 November, 2026 • By - KM Team
From 13 November 2026, Consent Managers can register under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. It is the one deadline every Data Fiduciary in India should have on its radar.
Here’s why it matters: a Consent Manager will become the single platform through which individuals give, manage, review and withdraw consent to Data Fiduciaries. But the law is clear on one point: the compliance burden does not shift. Data Fiduciaries remain responsible for proving notice and consent, for stopping processing the moment consent is withdrawn, and for protecting the data you hold, no matter how it reaches you.
Get this wrong, and the Act allows a penalty of up to INR 250 crore per breach
