What is WPC ETA Approval?
Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) is the National Radio Regulatory Authority of India operating under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications. WPC is responsible for managing the radio frequency spectrum, regulating wireless communication equipment, and granting approvals for products operating on approved frequency bands.
Equipment Type Approval (ETA) is the approval granted by the WPC Wing for wireless and radio frequency-enabled products operating in de-licensed frequency bands. Before importing, manufacturing, or selling eligible wireless devices in India, businesses must obtain WPC ETA Approval to ensure compliance with Indian regulatory requirements.
Why is WPC ETA Approval Important?
WPC ETA Approval is mandatory for various wireless products such as Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi-enabled equipment, RFID devices, wireless accessories, and other products that operate on de-licensed frequency bands. This approval confirms that the product complies with the prescribed radio frequency standards and can be legally imported, marketed, and distributed in India.
Obtaining WPC ETA Approval helps businesses meet regulatory requirements, avoid customs clearance issues, build customer confidence, and ensure smooth market entry. It also demonstrates that your wireless products comply with Indian radio frequency regulations, enhancing your brand credibility and reducing compliance risks.

Our team verifies the report to ensure it complies with WPC requirements before proceeding with the application.
Documentation Preparation
Our compliance specialists prepare and verify all required documents, including company information, technical specifications, authorization letters, RF test reports, and supporting declarations. Proper documentation helps avoid unnecessary objections during the approval process.
Online Application Filing
Once the documentation is complete, the WPC ETA application is prepared and submitted through the Saral Sanchar Portal. Every application is carefully reviewed before submission to ensure accuracy and compliance with the latest regulatory requirements.
Review by WPC Authority
After submission, the WPC authority examines the application, RF test report, and supporting documents. If additional information or clarification is required, our experts coordinate with the concerned department and respond promptly to ensure smooth processing.
Grant of WPC ETA Certificate
Once the application successfully satisfies all regulatory requirements, the WPC Wing issues the Equipment Type Approval (ETA) Certificate, allowing the approved wireless product to be legally imported, marketed, and sold in India.
