Data Retention

Banking loan consultancies typically store client data for a minimum of five to ten years after the end of the business relationship or the last transaction, in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements such as the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.

The specific retention period can vary depending on the type of document and local regulations:

  • Customer Identification Records (KYC): Information and documents related to a customer's identity and address are generally preserved for at least five years after the business relationship has ended.
  • Transaction Records: Records of all transactions are typically maintained for a minimum of ten years from the date of the last transaction or after the loan is repaid in full.
  • Audit and Compliance Logs: These records and related data must often be maintained for at least ten years to allow for regulatory audits, investigations, and legal disputes.
  • Legal Proceedings: If data is relevant to ongoing litigation, fraud investigation, or legal action, it must be preserved until all issues are conclusively decided, even if this exceeds the standard retention period.

Firms are required to have a clear data retention policy approved by their board of directors and must securely dispose of data once the required retention period has passed. For specific information on a particular consultancy's policy, it is best to contact the firm directly.

Legal Compliance

India's IT compliance is shifting from the older IT Act, 2000, to the new Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act), 2023, its comprehensive data law, replacing piecemeal rules, while the EU's GDPR still applies to Indian companies processing EU data, requiring dual compliance for many.

India's Legal Framework

  • Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act): The foundational law for cyber activities, covering electronic records and security, with Section 43A addressing negligent data handling and compensation.
  • DPDP Act, 2023: India's landmark law, replacing the IT Act's data rules, focusing on digital personal data, establishing rights for Data Principals (individuals) and obligations for Data Fiduciaries (companies).
  • DPDP Rules, 2025: These rules operationalize the DPDP Act, detailing phased implementation with requirements for consent managers, breach reporting (72 hours), and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for large entities.

GDPR vs. India's DPDP Act

  • Scope: GDPR applies if you offer goods/services to or monitor EU residents; DPDP Act applies to digital personal data within India.
  • Key Differences: DPDP Act introduces the Data Protection Board of India, has different penalty structures (up to INR 250 crores), and establishes Consent Managers.

Key Compliance Requirements

  • Consent: Obtaining clear, express consent for data processing.
  • Data Breach Reporting: Reporting of breaches within 72 hours to the Board and affected individuals.
  • Data Protection Officers (DPOs): Required for Significant Data Fiduciaries.
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs): Required for high-risk processing.
  • Cross-Border Transfers: Rules are being defined but impact international data flow.

Applicability to Indian Companies

  • DPDP Act: Mandatory for all entities processing digital personal data in India.
  • GDPR: Mandatory if your Indian business targets EU/UK markets or processes data for EU clients.

In essence, Indian companies must navigate both the newly enforced DPDP Act for domestic data and the established GDPR for their international data operations, requiring robust IT compliance strategies.
