Rules 1, 2 and 17 to 21 came into force that day, and they are the machinery of the Data Protection Board rather than anything a company must do. Rule 4, on consent managers, starts on 13 November 2026. Everything a data fiduciary has to build, the notice, the security measures, breach reporting, erasure and the rights machinery, starts on 13 May 2027, and sections 3 to 17 of the Act start on the same day. The regulator exists now. The duties do not.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTTechnology and datatechnology-data-and-productcontracts-and-procurementhttps://juriseagle.com/insights/semicon-2-0-eligibility-2026https://juriseagle.com/insights/semicon-2-0-eligibility-2026Semicon 2.0, notified on 31 August 2026, cut fiscal support for a silicon wafer fab to 40 per cent of eligible capital expenditure from the up to 50 per cent the first programme carried. The percentage is the least of it. An applicant for that pillar must already show minimum capital investment of INR 20,000 crore, revenue of INR 7,500 crore in any of the three financial years before it applies, and production grade technology it owns or licenses. The design pillar adds a condition on who owns and controls the applicant.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTManufacturing and incentivestransaction-advisoryip-and-licensingprojects-and-landhttps://juriseagle.com/insights/criminal-and-sensitive-litigation-insightshttps://juriseagle.com/insights/criminal-and-sensitive-litigation-insightsBail and anticipatory bail, economic offences, cybercrime, corporate criminal liability, and the new BNS/BNSS/BSA framework: the statutes that apply, the standards courts weigh, and how each domain of India's criminal justice system is approached.Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTCriminal & Sensitive Litigationwhite-collar-and-cyber-defencepmlamatrimonial-and-familyhttps://juriseagle.com/insights/matrimonial-and-child-custody-insightshttps://juriseagle.com/insights/matrimonial-and-child-custody-insightsUnderstanding divorce, maintenance, property division, and child custody laws in India: the statutes that apply, the factors courts weigh, and the routes through which disputes are resolved.Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTMatrimonial & Child Custodymatrimonial-and-familycivil-disputeshttps://juriseagle.com/insights/corporate-and-commercial-lawhttps://juriseagle.com/insights/corporate-and-commercial-lawLegal scholarship across Corporate, Regulatory, Civil & Criminal law, supporting informed decisions as Indian law changes.Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTCorporate & Commercial Lawbanking-sarfaesi-drtboardroom-and-corporatecapital-marketscivil-disputescontracts-and-procurementinsolvencypmlaprojects-and-landrera-and-real-estatetaxation-and-fiscaltransaction-advisorywhite-collar-and-cyber-defencehttps://juriseagle.com/insights/fifteen-per-cent-shareholder-company-petitionhttps://juriseagle.com/insights/fifteen-per-cent-shareholder-company-petitionA minority shareholder who petitions the NCLT under section 241 and wins a buyout order still has to survive the arithmetic.
