The Data Protection Board of India (DPBI) is the adjudicatory body established under Chapter IV (Sections 18-26) of the DPDP Act 2023. It receives and adjudicates complaints from data principals against data fiduciaries, conducts inquiries, and imposes monetary penalties up to Rs 250 crore per contravention. The Board is a digital-by-default office with online proceedings. Its orders are enforceable as decrees of a civil court. Appeals against DPBI orders lie to the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) and thereafter to the Supreme Court.
