NEW DELHI, India: The department of information technology (DIT) has completed the revision of the proposed Information Technology (IT) Act 2006 and has made it more stringent by adding provisions on child pornography and financial crimes being committed on net.
“The revised Act has got the approval of the communication minister A Raja and would be sent to the parliament for final approval,” a top official in the DIT told ET.
The government has proposed revision of the existing IT Act of 2000 in the wake of new technological advancements which had made the Act outdated. The revision started in 2006 and a revised draft was sent to the parliament for its sanction last year.
The draft was, however, referred to a parliamentary standing committee for its comments. The committee had found much scope for a re-revision of the Act. Subsequent to that DIT had constituted a committee to look into the matter and make the Act self containing by importing provisions from other legal provisions like the IPC and the Indian Evidence Act.
