Consumer Protection Act

The Consumer Affairs Ministry, in coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Department of Telecommunications (DoT), has notified guidelines banning the sale of illegal radio equipment and walkie-talkies on e-commerce platforms. The rules aim to curb unauthorized sales and protect consumers from misleading claims by mandating clear disclosures, WPC (Wireless Planning and Coordination) approval, and technical specifications for devices listed online.
