A27 October 2009 ✓ Correct
B27 October 2008
C17 October 2009
D17 October 2008
Correct answer: (A) 27 October 2009
Explanation
The IT (Amendment) Act, 2008 came into force in India on 27 October 2009.
The date 27 October 2008 is wrong because the amendment was passed in 2008 but commenced only the next year.
17 October 2009 is a nearby date but not the actual commencement day.
17 October 2008 does not match the enforcement of this amendment.
The amendment strengthened the law on cyber crime, data protection and intermediary liability.
It amended the original Information Technology Act of 2000.
