The DPDP Rules, 2025 were notified on which date?

Explanation

The date is 14 November 2025 because the PIB backgrounder states that the Government of India notified the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 on that date. The notification brought the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 into full operational effect, so the date is not just a formal calendar detail: it marks the point at which the Rules gave practical effect to the Act. The Rules followed nationwide consultations, and the final framework is meant to balance individual rights with lawful processing of digital personal data. That makes option B the only date supported by the official record.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) 1 November 2025 is wrong because the official PIB backgrounder places the notification later, on 14 November 2025.
• (C) 26 January 2025 is wrong because it predates the 14 November 2025 notification date for these Rules.
• (D) 15 August 2025 is wrong because the notification date was 14 November 2025, not Independence Day.

Concept

This tests current governance and digital rights under the Indian Constitution and Governance syllabus. Such dates recur in RAS because rules that operationalise Acts often become exam points in polity, public policy and data-governance questions.
