Turnkey WPC Certification & Wireless Approval Services in India
The Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications, is the statutory authority administering radio frequency spectrum usage and wireless transmissions across India. Under the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933 and the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, all wireless products operating in de-licensed frequency spectrums must obtain mandatory Equipment Type Approval (ETA) before commercial manufacturing, import, sale, or distribution.
As India's trusted WPC regulatory authority liaison, Equal Consultancy provides end-to-end technical advisory, gap audits, and expedited licensing support. Whether your equipment lands at Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Sheva), Chennai Port, Mundra, or air cargo complexes in Delhi (IGI Cargo), Mumbai (BOM), Bengaluru (BLR), or Hyderabad (HYD), our team ensures full spectrum compliance, flawless Saral Sanchar filings, and zero customs clearance delays.

Wireless & RF Products Requiring WPC ETA in India
Any consumer, commercial, automotive, or industrial product with an embedded radio frequency transmitter, Bluetooth module, Wi-Fi chipset, or cellular radio requires mandatory WPC clearance before entering the Indian market:
Documents Required for WPC ETA Approval
Accurate documentation is critical to ensure instantaneous Saral Sanchar approval and prevent procedural rejections or technical queries from DoT officers. We assist clients in compiling and verifying every record:
- Comprehensive Radio Frequency (RF) Test Report from an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory (ILAC-MRA or NABL accredited)
- Product technical specification sheet, system architecture, circuit diagrams, and antenna gain charts
- Declaration of exact operational frequency ranges and peak Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP)
- Applicant legal credentials: Certificate of Incorporation, GST Registration, PAN Card, and Import Export Code (IEC)
- Letter of Authorization (LoA) from the foreign OEM appointing the Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)
- Product user manual, technical safety leaflet, and high-definition external and internal product photographs
- Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of the authorized signatory for Saral Sanchar e-filing

What is WPC ETA Approval and why is it mandatory in India?
Equipment Type Approval (ETA) is a statutory certification issued by the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) wing of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). It verifies that an RF-enabled device operates strictly within de-licensed frequency bands and adheres to radiated power (EIRP) limits specified in the National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP). Importing, selling, or operating unapproved wireless equipment in India constitutes a punishable violation under Indian telecom law.
Which wireless products require WPC Certification in India?
Any hardware incorporating wireless transmitters—such as Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth earbuds, smartwatches, RFID scanners, wireless POS terminals, IoT sensors, automotive key fobs, telematics units (TCU), drones, and smart home appliances—mandatorily requires Equipment Type Approval (ETA) prior to commercial release.
Are foreign ILAC / CE / FCC test reports accepted by WPC?
Yes. Under the ETA Self-Declaration scheme on the Saral Sanchar portal, WPC accepts RF test reports issued by overseas test laboratories accredited under the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC-MRA). However, the report must clearly evaluate radiated power limits and frequency bands that align with India's de-licensing gazette notifications.
How long does it take to obtain WPC ETA Approval via Saral Sanchar?
Under the Self-Declaration portal mechanism, ETA approvals backed by compliant ILAC or NABL RF test reports are typically generated within 2 to 5 business days. Our engineers pre-audit all parameters to ensure zero technical mismatch and instantaneous certificate generation.
What is the difference between WPC ETA and a WPC Import License?
WPC ETA is a product-level technical approval certifying that the device's radio characteristics conform to Indian spectrum laws. A WPC Import License is a consignment-specific commercial authorization granted to the importer to legally clear consignments containing wireless equipment through Indian Customs.
