What the sources say
The Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025 were notified on 13 Nov 2025. The government's press release says they provide an 18 month phased compliance timeline. Eighteen months from 13 Nov 2025 is 13 May 2027, which is our own arithmetic, not a date stated in the release.
What we could not confirm. Some obligations start earlier than the full set. We did not confirm the early dates from the Gazette text. Read the Rules before relying on any single date.
