How is it different from Europe?
According to Wikipedia [0]: "Under the EPC, and in particular its Article 52, "programs for computers" are not regarded as inventions for the purpose of granting European patents"
Not very different. India (like EU) had been granting software patents in violation of the law, so people complained and the new guidelines clarify this matter.
