The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has initiated action against the listing and sale of walkie-talkie devices on e-commerce platforms that lack proper disclosure of operating frequencies, licensing information, and equipment type approval. Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Pralhad Joshi in a social media said that the absence of such critical information constitutes a violation of multiple laws including the Consumer Protection Act and the Wireless Telegraphy Act. The sale of non-compliant wireless devices not only breaches statutory obligations but may also pose significant risks to national security operations. He said, recognizing the gravity of the issue, the CCPA will issue specific guidelines to ensure legal compliance, enhance consumer protection, and maintain the integrity of the digital marketplace. Mr Joshi said that all sellers are required to strictly adhere to applicable regulatory standards to uphold consumer rights and prevent unlawful trade practices.
