<h1>Sale and listing of non-ETA Personal Mobile Radios operating outside 446.0-446.2 MHz on e-commerce platforms; penalties, delistings, mandatory compliance rules</h1> CCPA found e-commerce platforms listed and sold Personal Mobile Radios (PMRs) operating outside the license-exempt 446.0-446.2 MHz band and without Equipment Type Approval (ETA), clarifying that sale/listing of such devices violates the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and telecom rules and resulting in monetary penalties (Rs 10 lakh each for four major platforms and Rs 1 lakh each for four others) and orders to remove non-compliant listings. The authority rejected intermediary immunity where platforms facilitate listing/hosting without effective due diligence, clarifying intermediaries remain liable absent proactive compliance and leading to delistings and liability exposure. CCPA issued mandatory guidelines and self-audit requirements, obliging platforms to verify ETA/frequency compliance, disclose licensing requirements, deploy automated monitoring/takedown mechanisms, and publish audit certificates.
