> the committee recommended major changes across the board in all sections of the act

This bill was under discussion for 3 years. Every year the JCP keeps proposing new and different changes. After all this if you have 81/99 amendments, you have to question if it is nitpicking and stalling, especially when you have things like the Finance Bill and Farm Bill that get passed in record time.

This seems like a political decision more than anything. There is also the fact that the industry does not like this bill at all, there are some powerful corporations who entered the digital consumer space recently and would be seriously inconvenienced by this move.

Not everything is political. I can tell you this because I work with many of indian government departments very closely. The reservations JPC highlighted will be studied and after consultation with stakeholders it will tabled again.

FYI - The committee chairman and the IT Minister are from the same political party yet they disagreed and bill got pulled.

Here is a good premier on the JPC Recommendation [1]

Are these new concerns or concerns that arose during the preceding 3 years of discussions that remained unaddressed?
