In India, a wireless mouse must have a WPC ETA (Equipment Type Approval) Certificate, which is granted by the Department of Telecommunications' (DoT) Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing. In order to prevent interference with other wireless devices and networks, a wireless mouse must adhere to Indian RF compliance standards because it uses radio frequency (RF) technology, which is typically found in the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) de-licensed frequency band.
The ETA certification procedure guarantees that the wireless mouse complies with safety regulations, is tested for radio frequency emissions, and utilizes frequencies that the Indian government has approved. If the product is imported, the importer is required to apply to WPC and provide test reports demonstrating compliance, typically from labs accredited by NABL. The streamlined procedure speeds up the certification process for products that use pre-approved RF modules.
Wireless mice cannot be lawfully imported, sold, or distributed in India without a valid ETA Certificate, and shipments may be detained at customs. By guaranteeing that only authorized and interference-free devices reach the market, this regulation protects both consumers and the nation's communication infrastructure.
Looking it up, the WPC ETA Certificate for wireless mice is necessary for safe operation, legal compliance, and continuous wireless performance in India.

The WPC-ETA (Wireless Planning & Coordination – Equipment Type Approval) Certificate is a mandatory compliance requirement for importing, manufacturing, or selling wireless mice in India. Issued by the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), this certification ensures that wireless devices comply with India’s frequency spectrum regulations, technical standards, and safety guidelines.
Wireless mice operate on unlicensed frequency bands (such as 2.4 GHz) and must undergo RF (Radio Frequency) testing in a TEC/NABL-accredited laboratory to verify compliance. Without WPC-ETA approval, such devices cannot be legally imported or sold in India.
Obtaining this certificate helps businesses ensure smooth customs clearance, avoid legal penalties, and build trust with customers by guaranteeing the safe and lawful operation of their wireless products.
You can obtain an ETA certificate by following these 4 steps:
Radio Frequency Test is asked to be conducted in an Authorized Indian Laboratory to examine the frequency range of the product. Results of the test are required to be submitted at the time of online Application as a formal document.
An Online application needs to be file at Saral Sanchar Portal to start the process, after login with your credentials, add mandatory personal, business, and equipment details.
The following documents needs to be submitted:
After completing the whole procedure, your submitted documents will be examined by an authorized WPC Officer, the documents should be completed and truthful to obtain an ETA certificate with no hindrances.
If the officer gets satisfied with documents and finds no secrecy then the Certificate will be regulated to you.
All wireless equipment must be designed and manufactured to ensure that its emission bandwidth and other technical parameters remain within the specified limits, per the WPC Wing notification. Type Approval is required for such equipment. The Central Government must receive an application in the required format in order to grant this approval (WPC ETA Approval).

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
