Explanation using Example

For instance, consider the situation where a new provision is introduced in The Information Technology Act, 2000, that mandates all businesses to implement a certain level of cybersecurity measures to protect customer data. The Central Government, to ensure the uniform application of this provision across the country, can issue directions to the State Governments to execute this provision in their respective states. The State Government would then need to ensure that all businesses within its jurisdiction comply with the new cybersecurity measures as per the central directive.
