Real questions from real business owners — answered in plain Hindi-English.
Last week, hundreds of small business owners joined our webinars. They all asked the same things. 'Does this law apply to my small shop?' 'What if a customer asks me to delete their number?' 'Can I get fined for keeping old resumes?' These are good questions. Today we answer the top 4. Read carefully — at least one answer will surprise you.
Think about your shop or office. You have customer phone numbers saved on WhatsApp. You have Aadhaar copies in a drawer. You have old resumes on your laptop. All of this is covered under the new law. If a customer says 'delete my number' — you must do it fast. If you collected a resume six months ago and did not hire that person — delete it now. If you never told customers why you took their Aadhaar copy — start telling them today. Small steps protect you from big fines.
Tell every customer why you collect their phone number or Aadhaar copy.
Delete old resumes and salary slips you no longer need. Do it today.
