The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has initiated suo motu action against e-commerce platforms for listing and selling unauthorised walkie-talkies in violation of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and telecom laws, issuing final orders against eight entities and imposing penalties totalling Rs 44 lakh.
Notices were issued to 13 e-commerce entities — Chimiya, JioMart, Talk Pro, Meesho, MaskMan Toys, TradeIndia, Antriksh Technologies, Vardaanmart, IndiaMart, Meta Platforms Inc. (Facebook Marketplace), Flipkart, Krishna Mart, and Amazon, following the identification of over 16,970 non-compliant product listings across platforms.
The CCPA found that platforms were facilitating the sale of Personal Mobile Radios (PMRs) operating outside the license-exempt frequency band, without Equipment Type Approval (ETA) certification or licensing requirements. To strengthen platform accountability, the CCPA has notified guidelines for the ‘Prevention and Regulation of Illegal Listing and Sale of Radio Equipments’ including walkie-talkies on e-commerce platforms, 2025, in consultation with the Department of Telecommunications and Ministry of Home Affairs.
