CLAIM-TO-SOURCE MAP

How this record is used.

Each link opens the exact editorial claim and its reading boundary. Presence here does not turn an explainer or draft into controlling law.

  1. Current record · 13 NOV 2025

    A specified first cohort is already in force.

    This does not make every substantive DPDP duty operative on the editorial as-of date.

  2. Notified future · 13 NOV 2026

    Rule 4 sits in the one-year tranche.

    This is a fixed notified future date, not a current-duty claim or a live countdown.

  3. Notified future · 13 MAY 2027

    The remaining listed cohort sits in the eighteen-month tranche.

    The date applies to the provisions named by the notifications; it is not a shorthand for the status of every provision.

  4. Process history · 03 JAN 2025

    The January 2025 draft is consultation history.

    The draft consultation is not the governing Rules text and must not be used as the current legal record.
