Technology & Digital Platform Law in India
IT Act 2000, intermediary liability, AI regulation, online gaming rules, IT Amendment Rules 2026, and platform governance for Indian digital businesses.
Indian technology law is built on the Information Technology Act, 2000, but the operational rules that shape platform behaviour live in subordinate legislation: the IT Rules 2021 governing intermediaries and digital media, successive amendments expanding the obligations of significant social media intermediaries, and the latest IT Amendment Rules 2026 introducing AI-content labelling and grievance-redressal duties.
The articles in this section work through the obligations that hit Indian technology platforms hardest: intermediary safe-harbour conditions and when they fail, takedown and traceability requirements, the AI-content labelling architecture under the 2026 amendment rules, the regulatory perimeter for online gaming under the PROGA framework, and the open analytical questions where the rules are still being tested in court.
The framing is in-house counsel oriented: what an operating team needs to know to design a feature, draft a policy, respond to a notice, or assess litigation exposure. Where a question is genuinely open, the article says so rather than collapsing it into a confident answer.
