WPC / ETA
WPC & ETA Approval for Wireless Products
Equipment Type Approval for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, RFID and other RF-enabled products entering India.
◇ Overview
What this is
Products incorporating radio and/or wireless functionalities that are manufactured, imported, or sold in India must obtain Equipment Type Approval (ETA) from the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing, under the Ministry of Communications.
This requirement applies to devices operating on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN), Zigbee, RFID and similar technologies. A WPC Licence is mandatory for most wireless-enabled devices, particularly those using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi frequencies.
The licensing and approval framework is governed by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) India. Depending on the product category and frequency band, manufacturers or importers may be required to obtain both WPC Licence and ETA approval.

◇ Common questions
FAQs
Are pure receiver devices (e.g., GPS-only) exempt?
Yes. Devices that function purely as receivers — such as GPS-only modules — are generally exempt from ETA approval requirements.
What documentation is required for ETA?
A comprehensive RF test report from a recognised and accredited laboratory is required. This report is evaluated by WPC to ensure compliance with Indian regulatory standards.
