Introduction

Chandigarh is surely a growing hub for technology, electronics, and wireless-based businesses, eventually making WPC ETA certification an essential compliance requirement in the city. Businesses that are dealing with products such as Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth gadgets, RFID systems, and smart wearables must definitely have WPC ETA approval to sell or import these devices legally in Chandigarh. Without it, companies risk regulatory issues, legal penalties, and network interference problems.

Partnering with an expert WPC license consultant in Chandigarh, such as Brand Liaison, helps businesses navigate the entire process easily. With years of experience, Brand Liaison guides you through documentation, testing, and submission, ensuring a smooth, fast, and hassle-free path to obtaining WPC ETA certification in Chandigarh.

What is WPC ETA Certification?

WPC ETA (Equipment Type Approval) certification in Chandigarh is a mandatory approval for the notified products that are listed in the Applicable Product Checklist. It applies to various devices that work on unlicensed radio frequencies, such as Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, RFID systems, and several other similar wireless equipment. 

The certificate is issued by the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing, which functions under the Ministry of Communications, Government of India. This certificate makes sure that the wireless devices operating on de-licensed frequency bands are fully compliant with India’s technical as well as safety norms.

Who should apply for a WPC License?

All Manufacturers (Indian and Foreign) in Chandigarh who are selling or exporting WPC-notified products into the Indian market must apply for a WPC ETA Approval. This is important in order to comply with Indian laws and gain smooth market access.

Importers and traders cannot apply directly for a WPC ETA Approval, as the ETA license is granted only to the actual manufacturer. Importers are advised to request a copy of the WPC ETA certificate from the actual manufacturers to sell the products in India.

What will happen if you are selling without a WPC ETA Certificate?

A WPC Certificate is a mandatory compliance requirement for the Indian market. It is needed for manufacturers who are selling wireless products in India that have been notified by the WPC. Understanding the WPC regulations is therefore an essential requirement. If you are selling the notified products in the Indian market without a WPC ETA Approval, there might be various penalties such as:

  • Fines up to ₹5,00,000 per violation under the Telecommunications Act, 2023
  • Additional ₹50,000 per day for continuing breaches
  • Penalties and imprisonment up to 3 years under the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933
  • Seizure and confiscation of equipment

Therefore, obtaining an ETA certification is mandatory to avoid penalties and abide by the frequency regulations that have been set by the WPC.
