What is a Consent Manager under the DPDP Act? A Consent Manager under the DPDP Act 2023 is a registered intermediary through which individuals can give, manage, review, and withdraw their consent to data processing across multiple platforms from a single interface. Consent Managers must be registered with the Data Protection Board and are accountable to data principals for the consent records they maintain. Organisations that rely on consent as their lawful basis for processing must ensure their systems are interoperable with registered Consent Managers.
The DPDP Rules 2025 make registered Consent Managers operational on 13 November 2026. Score your readiness in 2 minutes.
Tick what is true today. Most organisations score 2–3 out of 10 on first pass — the point is to know your gap a year early, not to feel good.
Includes our integration-architecture one-pager, the purpose-codification worksheet, and monthly updates as MeitY registers the first Consent Managers — so you build against reality, not guesses.
A Consent Manager is a registered, India-incorporated platform (minimum ₹2 crore net worth) that lets individuals give, manage, review and withdraw consent across many Data Fiduciaries through a single interface — registered with the Data Protection Board under the DPDP Rules 2025. The framework becomes operational on 13 November 2026.
Because the hard work isn't the integration — it's getting your own house in order first: centralised consent records, codified purposes, programmatic withdrawal handling, and processor contracts that pass signals through. Organisations that start in 2026 do this calmly; those that start in 2027 do it during enforcement.
