Bills and acts play an important role in the smooth running and governance of a country. Knowing important acts is also essential for UPSC Prelims 2024. Deepanshu Singh, a UPSC mentor, shared a list of such important acts:

1. Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023

The Act is designed to oversee the handling of digital personal data, affirming the individual’s autonomy over their personal information which includes various new elements like data fiduciaries’ responsibilities, data principles, roles and responsibilities, and enforcement measures. Singh elaborates on data fiduciaries, “Entities that manage data, encompassing individuals, corporations, and government bodies, are mandated to adhere to specific standards during data processing activities such as collection, storage, and other data-related operations.”

While, to whom the data pertains, are empowered with rights to control their digital footprint and responsibilities to comply with the law. The above statement reflects data principals’ rights and responsibilities.

2. Press and Registration of Periodicals Act, 2023

The Act specifies that periodicals do not include books or scientific and academic journals, which are exempt from its regulations. Along with the above, the act has a provision of reproduction of foreign periodicals as facsimiles (exact copies) in India which requires prior authorization from the central government. Publishers seeking to print periodicals must obtain a registration certificate through an online application to the Press Registrar General (PRG) and the relevant local authority, read a statement from Singh’s post.

The Act replaces imprisonment with fines, updating the colonial-era law to decriminalise certain offences. Individuals convicted of terrorism, unlawful activities, or actions compromising state security are also prohibited from publishing periodicals.

The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Second Amendment) Act, 2023, and the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Act, 2023, have also been passed, reserving 33 per cent of seats for women in the assemblies of Jammu and Kashmir and Puducherry. The women’s reservation is set to expire after 15 years but can be renewed by Parliament.

An adjudicating officer will be appointed to handle civil offences, with the provision for appeals against committee orders to be made to the Telecom Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) within 30 days.

This Act allows for the interception, monitoring, or blocking of messages on grounds of state security, public order, and prevention of incitement to offences.
