WPC-ETA is a mandatory approval issued by the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing in India for any wireless or RF-based device that operates on unlicensed frequency bands (like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, Zigbee). It ensures the device meets Indian radio frequency standards before it can be imported, sold, or used in India.
SACFA (Standing Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency Allocation) Clearance is an approval issued by WPC for installing wireless communication equipment such as telecom towers, antennas, radio stations, and microwave links. It ensures that the proposed installation does not interfere with existing frequencies, aviation routes, or national security systems.
WPC Import License is an approval issued by the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing that permits the import of wireless or RF-based equipment into India. It ensures that the imported devices comply with Indian frequency and spectrum regulations.
Dealer Possession License (DPL) is an authorization issued by WPC that allows dealers to purchase, possess, and sell wireless/RF equipment in India. It ensures that only registered and compliant dealers handle wireless devices that operate on licensed frequency bands.
NDPL is a license issued by WPC that allows organizations or individuals (who are not dealers) to possess and use wireless or radio-frequency equipment that operates on licensed frequency bands. It ensures legal and compliant usage of such wireless devices in India.

Initial Compliance Verification
The process of obtaining WPC ETA (Equipment Type Approval) Certification begins with the examination of the EN Standard and frequency range outlined in the RF-Test report of the product. If the frequency range aligns with the mandatory devices operating under the DE Licence, a self-declaration certificate is issued.
WPC Application Preparation
The applicant first prepares the necessary documents based on the verification of the frequency range from the RF-Test report, and then proceeds to fill out the WPC online Application on the Saral Sanchar portal to obtain login credentials.
Guidelines for Government Fees and WPC Document Submission
The applicant pays the government fees online through the portal and then submits all required documents, both online and offline, to the WPC authority for the specific type of license.
Approval
WPC officials conduct a thorough verification of the submitted documents and RF test report. If they are satisfied with the documentation and test results, the Equipment Type Approval Certificate (WPC certificate) is granted; otherwise, they may request additional documents or information for clarification.
