India Proposes Continuous Labelling Requirement for AI-Generated Content Under New IT Rules

India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has proposed stricter rules requiring continuous and clearly visible labels on AI-generated content throughout its playback. This aims to enhance transparency and platform accountability under the updated IT rules, including faster removal of unlawful synthetic content. While experts acknowledge the potential to build trust, industry stakeholders express concerns about feasibility, increased compliance costs, and impacts on user experience. Public feedback on the amendments is open until May 7, 2026.
