Import License by WPC in India

What is WPC?

WPC License, full form, Wireless Planning & Coordination license is the license to import and sell wireless products. Issued by the Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing, a part of the Department of Telecommunication, it's a non-optional license.

There is a rapid increase in the presence of wireless products these days. Even though we are moving towards a self-reliant India, there are some products from foreign lands that cannot always be replaced. We are talking about quality wireless products. Due to these international products, things have become more affordable for the common consumer. So, if you're a purveyor of wireless products and are looking for a WPC ETA certificate, wait no more.

ETA Approval

WPC certificate full form Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing certification is the required authorization for any business individual who seeks to manufacture, import, sell or use wireless Equipment. As a business owner, you get this Equipment Type Approval  (ETA) from the WPC wing. It's a part of the Department of Telecommunications that oversees Frequency Spectrum Management (FSM). WPC provides approval through ETA, Network or Non-Network, and DPL or NDPL Licenses.

How to get WPC ETA approval in India?

The primary procedure for getting the ETA approval or WPC ETA approval in India differs based on whether the manufacturer is domestic or foreign:

• Only an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) can apply for foreign manufacturers.
• For a domestic manufacturer, ETA is required if the wireless product it manufactures works in delicensed bands. 

Such a requirement makes getting approval a complex process. The application process alone is cumbersome, but when you combine it with the constant vigilance, AIR requirement, and the number of trips required to the department, the prospect of getting a WPC ETA License can be demoralizing.

Import License from the WPC

After you've obtained the Equipment Type Approval from the Wireless Planning and Coordination, a wing of the Department of Telecommunication, you don't get the full authorization to import the wireless product. 

For that purpose, you need to reach out to the Regional Office of WPC in your region and obtain the Import License from WPC. Registrationwala, with the aid of our experts, can assist you in this matter.
