Information Technology Act 2000 (ITA 2000) was a watershed
legislation in India which brought legal recognition to Electronic Documents in
India for the first time. It also gave birth to the system of Digital Signatures
in India and enabled a legally acceptable digital contract. The Act which became
effective from 17th October 2000, because of which October 17th is celebrated as
the "Digital Society Day of India" was substantially amended by the Information
Technology Amendment Act 2008 which became effective from 27th October 2009. The
amended ITA 2000 is so different from the original ITA 2000 that it has come to
be known under the nick name as ITA 2008.
This site captures and presents for public use the latest
version of the Act along with the earlier versions and the rules to provide a
one stop information on the act which is referred to from time to time by many
law and information security practitioners. This information has been available
in Naavi.org for quite some time and the current initiative is to make it easy
for people to access the information under the domain name ita2008.in.
The different versions of the Act are available here:
