This paper deals with the privacy issue, concerning challenges in three various aspects like Legal, Technical and Political domain in Indian perspective. This paper suggested framework to deal with these challenges. Growth in technology such as Mobility, Data Mining, Cloud computing etc. brings unexpected challenges and one of the major challenges is threat to “privacy”. Presently we can obtain any information related to anyone from anywhere at any time but this arise a new problem to private and confidential information. Globalization has given acceptance of technology in the whole world, asper demand increases different countries has established different legal framework like Data Protection Act of 1998,UK;Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, USA etc. from time to time ,but in India there is no such inclusive legal framework that deals with privacy issue. To handle vital cyber challenges we refer IT Act 2008 that was set up with the motivation to facilitate e-commerce and hence the privacy was not advance concern in IT act. This suggestive framework give inclusive solution as per present and future requirements of privacy in Indian scenario. As rightly said “true power of any law lies on its ability and ease of enforcement”.
