What is the maximum DPDP penalty?
Schedule penalties can reach up to ₹250 crore depending on the violation category, including failure to take reasonable security safeguards and breach notification failures.
Penalties are designed to be significant relative to Indian revenue scales—mid-size companies face disproportionate exposure if controls are weak.
Voluntary undertakings may be available in some enforcement scenarios.
