01 / The rule

What India IT Rules (SGI) requires

Intermediaries whose services can be used to create or share synthetic content; significant social media intermediaries carry the declaration and verification duties.

  1. 01Services that can create or share synthetic content must label it prominently; for audio, a prominently prefixed disclosure. No label size is set.
  2. 02Embed permanent metadata or other provenance with a unique identifier where technically feasible, and not enable removal of the label or metadata.
  3. 03Significant social media intermediaries must collect each user's declaration on whether content is synthetic, verify it with technical measures, and label confirmed synthetic content.
  4. 04Remove content within 3 hours of a court order or reasoned government intimation.
  5. 05Remove intimate or impersonation content within 2 hours of an individual's complaint; specified categories within 36 hours, other grievances within 7 days.

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits

Keep a record anyone can check

When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.

A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
