India's DPDP framework opens Consent Manager registration, aiming to give citizens greater control over personal data permissions.

By News National Editorial Team

India has taken another step towards implementing its digital personal data protection framework with the opening of registration for Consent Managers under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023.

The initiative is intended to give individuals greater control over how their personal information is collected, accessed and processed by digital platforms and organisations.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) launched the registration portal on November 14, 2026.

What are Consent Managers?

Consent Managers are regulated intermediaries designed to help individuals manage permissions relating to their personal data.

Under the framework, individuals should be able to:

  • Give consent for personal data processing.

  • Review existing permissions.

  • Manage their data-sharing preferences.

  • Withdraw consent where permitted.

  • Use an accessible platform to manage permissions across participating organisations.

The framework is intended to reduce the difficulty of managing privacy permissions across multiple online services.

Who can apply?

According to the reported registration framework, eligible Indian-incorporated companies with a minimum net worth of ₹2 crore can apply to register as Consent Managers.

Applications are subject to examination by the Data Protection Board of India.

Why this matters for businesses

Companies operating in banking, healthcare, e-commerce, education and telecommunications regularly process personal information.

The evolving regulatory framework makes transparent data practices, appropriate consent mechanisms and accountable data management increasingly important.

Businesses should review their privacy notices, consent processes, data-retention practices and internal security policies.

Challenges ahead

The success of the framework will depend on how effectively different platforms can communicate with Consent Managers.

Interoperability, cybersecurity, independent oversight and public awareness will be important to ensuring that the system delivers practical benefits.

For citizens, the central objective is to make personal-data permissions more transparent and manageable.
