Blockchain and DPDP compliance
Blockchain and DPDP compliance do not come easily together — and that tension is one of the least-discussed compliance risks in India today.
Blockchain promises transparency, tamper-resistance, and decentralised trust. The DPDP Act, 2023 promises individuals the right to have their personal data erased. These two commitments point in opposite directions. The ledger wants to remember everything. The law says individuals have the right to be forgotten.
As organisations across India deploy blockchain in finance, supply chains, healthcare records, and identity verification, this conflict moves from theoretical to urgent. The full compliance deadline under the DPDP Act is 13 May 2027. Moreover, if your organisation’s blockchain architecture stores personal data today, the design decisions you make now will be far harder to reverse later.
