# DPDP Dev Skill — building software that complies with India's DPDP law
Source texts (read in full when this skill was written):
- Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (No. 22 of 2023) — cited as **S.** (section)
- Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, G.S.R. 846(E), notified 13 Nov 2025 — cited as **R.** (rule) and **Sch.** (schedule)
