Four statutes, one working map of what is an offence, what is a duty, and what is evidence

Cyber cases are charged under the IT Act and the BNS together, data obligations come from the DPDP Act and the IT Rules, and whether any of it is proved depends on the BSA. This course covers all four as they are actually used: which section fits which fact pattern, what a company must do and by when, what a complaint or a notice must contain, and what the courts have said.

What participants can do afterwards

  • Apply the IT Act 2000 offences and the intermediary and CERT-In rules to real fact patterns, including the limits of Section 66 and the fate of Section 66A
  • Choose the BNS 2023 sections that fit cyber fraud, extortion, stalking, impersonation, defamation and organised crime, and understand how they pair with IT Act sections
  • Advise on DPDP Act 2023 duties: consent, notice, purpose, retention, data-principal rights, breach reporting, the Board and penalties, and what is still pending
  • Handle electronic evidence under BSA 2023: Section 63, certificates, primary and secondary evidence, and the common grounds of challenge
  • Draft a cyber crime complaint, a takedown notice to an intermediary, a legal notice to a platform, and a DPDP-compliant privacy notice
  • Know the key judgments and the regulators (CERT-In, RBI, SEBI, MeitY, the Data Protection Board) that shape practice

Frequently asked questions

Is the course pitched at lawyers, or is it accessible to HR and compliance staff?

Both, by design. Day one is heavier on offences and procedure, day two on duties and evidence. Non-lawyers find the DPDP and evidence material directly useful and the offences material useful for knowing when to involve the police or counsel. Lawyers find the drafting and evidence sessions the most valuable. We keep the vocabulary plain throughout.

How do you handle the parts of the DPDP Act that are not yet fully in force?

We separate what is in force, what has been notified with timelines, and what is pending, and we update the material before each delivery. The compliance workshop focuses on the obligations that take the longest to build, since those are the same regardless of the final timeline. Participants receive an update note if rules change in the months after the course.

Does the course cover the Section 63 BSA certificate in enough detail to use?

Yes. The session covers the provision, the certificate requirements, who should sign it for different sources, how it relates to the earlier Section 65B jurisprudence, and the grounds on which certificates are challenged. The mock argument uses a defective certificate so participants can see what a court would make of it. The template in the pack has guidance notes.

Can this be delivered for a police training institute in Hindi?

Yes. For police audiences we weight day one towards BNS and IT Act sections, FIR and charge-sheet drafting, and the evidence material, and shorten the DPDP compliance workshop. Delivery can be in Hindi or mixed, and the section-wise reference is provided in both languages. The material is practical and does not substitute for a legal opinion in a specific case.
