Order given to these websites

These websites include Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, OLX, TradeIndia, Facebook, Indiamart, Vardanmart, Jiomart, Krishnamart, Chimiya, Talk Pro Walkie Talkie and Maskman Toys. Companies have been prohibited from selling illegal walkie-talkies.

This action focuses on the sale of walkie-talkies that do not have the correct frequency information, are not licensed or do not have the necessary government approval (Equipment Type Approval - ETA). All this is a violation of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

Earlier, Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi had said on social media that "the sale of illegal wireless devices not only violates legal rules, but can also pose a major threat to national security." He said that these violations contradict several laws, including the Consumer Protection Act, the Indian Telegraph Act and the Wireless Telegraphy Act.

The minister also said that the CCPA will soon issue formal rules under Section 18(2)(l) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, aimed at strengthening compliance and consumer protection in online marketplaces. He said sellers have been directed to strictly comply with all applicable rules to protect the rights of consumers and prevent unlawful trade.
