Discussion
In which of the following years did some major amendments take place in the IT Act of India ?
Answer: D
The major amendments came in 2008.
The Information Technology Act was passed in 2000. The Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008, which came into force in 2009, made major changes: it added offences such as identity theft, cyber terrorism and child pornography (Sections 66C to 66F and 67B), introduced Section 43A on data protection, and recognised electronic signatures more broadly.
2000 is the year of the original Act, not an amendment, and no major amendments were made in 2004 or 2011, though rules under the Act were issued in 2011.
