The Supreme Court of India, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, is investigating alleged privacy breaches by major foreign credit information companies like TransUnion CIBIL, Experian, Equifax, and CRIF High Mark. The companies are accused of mishandling sensitive financial data of Indian consumers without proper consent, potentially infringing on the privacy rights of over a billion individuals. The petitioner has requested the Court to enforce stricter regulations on data sharing.
