The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) notified the final set of guidelines on 30 November 2023, for the prevention and regulation of dark patterns on platforms offering goods and services in India, through an online interface.
The notification has come after the Department of Consumer affairs (DoCA), in September 2023, released draft guidelines for the prevention and regulation of dark patterns for public consultation. The final guidelines have identified 13 types of dark patterns, up from the 10 identified earlier as part of the initial draft.
