In furtherance of its efforts in promoting a digital economy for consumer welfare, CUTS has undertaken a study titled ‘Ease of doing Digital Business in India.’ CUTS is releasing a discussion paper series, and the first paper in this series is titled ‘Impact of Criminalising Provisions on Ease of Doing Digital Business in India.’ To promote EoDB, the Government of India has decriminalised various laws and regulations for traditional businesses, and this is not the case fordigital businesses. Through this paper, CUTS has assessed various regulations and laws targeted toward digital businesses which contain criminalising provisions.
