Our Counter Comments to MeitY on the Draft Intermediaries Guidelines (Amendment) Rules, 2018
The Draft Information Technology [Intermediaries Guidelines (Amendment) Rules], 2018 (“the Draft Rules”), were issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (“MeitY”) on the 24th of December, 2018.
