INDIA NEWS | Mon, 9 Feb 2026, 12:31AM IST New Delhi: Spiralling healthcare costs in India have caught the attention of political leaders. With an aim to address the ever increasing out of pocket medical expenses, Member of Parliament (MP) Ajeet Gopchade has introduced the National Medical Pricing and Regulation Commission bill, 2026 that-seeks to establish an independent National Medical Pricing and Regulation Commission which will be empowered to fix, regulate and oversee medical charges, ensure mandatory public disclosure of approved rates, adjudicate complaints related to overcharging and enforce compliance through penalties and refunds."I have, respectfully submitted-the National Medical Pricing and Regulation Commission Bill, 2026 to further advance fairness, transparency, and affordability in healthcare for our countrymen," Gopchade told ET.The bill proposes to establish an independent National Medical Pricing and Regulation Commission, to be chaired by a retired Judge of the Supreme Court of India, with corresponding State and Union Territory Commissions chaired by retired Judges of the High Courts.The move gains significance as healthcare affordability in India is emerging as a matter of grave concern. While the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 provides for registration and minimum standards of healthcare institutions, it does not establish a statutory authority for regulating or rationalising medical charges."In the absence of an independent price-regulating framework, hospitals and allied healthcare establishments levy widely divergent and non-transparent charges for similar medical services, diagnostics, procedures, room rent, implants and consumables. Such practices have resulted in financial hardship to patients and have undermined equitable access to healthcare, which forms an integral component of the right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution," the proposed bill said.As per the proposed private member bill submitted by parliamentarian Gopchade-the National Commission will be liable to frame, notify, and periodically revise national guidelines for the rationalisation, transparency, and standardisation of medical and healthcare charges across public and private healthcare establishments.It will prescribe principles, methodologies, and benchmarks for cost-based and value-based pricing of healthcare services, procedures, diagnostics, and allied services, ensuring affordability, quality, and financial sustainability.The commission will also be responsible to supervise, monitor, and evaluate the functioning and compliance of State and Union Territory Healthcare Pricing Commissions, and to issue directions necessary for ensuring uniformity and effective implementation of national policy.As per the proposed bill every hospital, nursing home, clinic, diagnostic centre, and allied healthcare establishment, registered or required to be registered under the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, shall mandatorily register with the respective State or Union Territory Commission.The registered establishment will be liable to pay an annual regulatory fee, as prescribed by the State or Union Territory Commission with the prior approval of the National Commission, for the purpose of meeting the administrative, regulatory, inspection, and enforcement expenses of the Commissions.As per the proposed bill any establishment charging beyond the approved limits shall be liable to monetary penalties. If caught over charging they will have to refund of excess amount to the patient with interest. The hospital may lose its registration if they are caught in any wrongdoing.

INDIA NEWS | Mon, 9 Feb 2026, 12:04AM IST New Delhi: Several hotel owners are rushing to renegotiate longstanding agreements with international operators and booking platforms to clarify data protection responsibilities under the new Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act and strengthen measures to prevent any breach of guest data.The move reflects the growing concern among hoteliers about the liability exposure in an industry where guest information is exposed to several stakeholders including hotel management firms and travel companies, legal experts said. 128082181 They said the sector is more vulnerable than others, citing given prior instances of hacking and credit card theft and widespread sharing of guest data across property systems, brand platforms, online travel agencies (OTAs) and technology providers, creating multiple access points and higher dependency risk."Owners are waking up to the fact that they could be on the hook for violations they have no control over," said Sujjain Talwar, partner at Economic Laws Practice (ELP).Several existing industry contracts stretch over decades. They were signed long before data privacy emerged as a regulatory priority and contain little guidance on who controls guest data or bears responsibility for breaches. "These are typically 20- to 30-year management agreements that never contemplated privacy law," Talwar said.The DPDP Act, which came into force last year, imposes significant penalties for mishandling personal information and grants consumers new rights over their data.Experts said many travel and hospitality companies are grappling with multiple challenges in understanding and implementing the rules in view of the complexities involved."As they deal with heavy volumes of PII (personally identifiable information) data that they receive directly from individuals and corporates under different arrangements, they are finding it difficult to envisage their responsibilities in all such arrangements where they may be treated both as a data fiduciary and a processor in some arrangements," said Rahul Garg, managing partner at tax and regulatory consultant Asire Consulting.Considering big hotel chains operate through management models, companies are discussing the responsibility matrix between property owners and the international chains, which is critical to decide the identification of who classifies as a fiduciary, he said.Industry sources said international hotel chains, which typically operate properties under management or franchising agreements rather than owning them, have begun receiving queries and amendment requests from property owners seeking to limit their exposure. These concerns are becoming critical factors during negotiations on brand selection and signings, said Deepak Jain, founder of Mayfair Consultants."For instance, the large American chains are governed by US-bound laws on data protection. There is a lack of clarity from the brands and owners' side on what they sign off on during the contract and upon its termination," he said. "Also, if a contract gets terminated, who is responsible for the customer data."
