| IAMAI Submission to MeitY Regarding Draft Online Gaming Rules |
The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) made a submission to the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in response to the consultation call on the Draft Amendments to the IT Rules, 2021 in relation to online gaming. The proposed amendments are notably the first step towards recognizing and regulating online gaming businesses and providing vital consumer protection measures. However, in its submission, IAMAI highlighted that the broadly defined ambit of the regulations would impact stakeholders along the value chain in the gaming ecosystem. Key concerns include the lack of definitional clarity, onerous due diligence requirements, and complications owing to jurisdictional overlaps.

| IAMAI Submission on NHA Consultation Paper |
| IAMAI made a submission to the National Health Authority (NHA), following the release of a draft paper on ‘’Operationalising Unified Health Interface (UHI) in India’’, which aims to outline different operational elements of the UHI. In its submission, the IAMAI Healthtech Committee suggested parity between offline and online service providers in their offerings so as to help end users make optimal choices via any platform with equal convenience. The submission also proposed that a multi-disciplinary team approach could be considered within the service booking process, as in many cases a group of specialized healthcare professionals might be required to determine patients' treatment plans and monopolization could be prevented by reducing entry barriers for new service providers. This, IAMAI felt, would encourage innovation in service offerings, both by end-user applications (EUAs) and health service provider applications (HSPAs), which would benefit both end users and health service providers. |
