This instruction from the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) pertains to the issuance of Equipment Type Approval (ETA) for license-exempt wireless equipment devices. Key points are: applicants can obtain ETA on a self-declaration basis by submitting applications with requisite documents and fees on the SARAL Sanchar portal; ETAs ensure compliance with RF regulations, but holders must obtain necessary clearances from DGFT before importing equipment; it is the responsibility of ETA holders to comply with all import regulations stipulated by DGFT; earlier instructions stand modified to this extent; difficulties may be brought to CBIC's notice. The OM from Department of Telecommunications enabling this process is also enclosed.
