Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday said that new Data Privacy Bill will be ready soon.

"The (IT) minister has been working very diligently and has assured the new Data Privacy Bill will be ready soon. The bill will address every concern expressed earlier," Sitharaman said at India Ideas Summit.

Earlier, the finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said inflation is no longer "red-lettered" and the priority for the government now is job creation and boosting growth.

"Some of course are red-lettered (priorities), some may not be. Red-lettered ones would of course be jobs, equitable wealth distribution and making sure India is moving on the path of growth.

"In that sense inflation is not red-lettered. I hope it doesn't surprise many of you. We have shown that in the past couple of months that we were able to bring it to a manageable level," she said.
