The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on Personal Data Protection Bill has called Facebook, Microsoft, Assocham, and Nasscom as part of the first batch of 10-12 entities to present their views on the proposed legislation. 

The JPC had sought suggestions on the Bill from people and organisations on the proposed legislation in January. 

The JPC “received over 200 responses and has initially selected 11-12 entities to present their ideas orally in the first phase. Some of them have been informed to be ready,” said Ram Raj Rai, director of the JPC at the Lok Sabha Secretariat.
