The Ministry of Electronics and IT is responsible for the proposed 'Digital India Bill,' which is intended to replace the Information Technology Act of 2000, which currently governs online entities in India.

The Digital India Bill seeks to create an environment in which the internet in India is accessible, secure, and protected against user harm and criminality, and includes an institutional accountability mechanism.
