CCPA widens crackdown, fines TradeIndia ₹10 lakh over uncertified walkie-talkie sale

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has imposed a fine of ₹10 lakh on TradeIndia, a prominent B2B marketplace, for selling uncertified walkie-talkies. This action is part of the CCPA's broader initiative to enhance consumer safety by ensuring that businesses comply with mandatory regulations and disclose necessary information about wireless devices. The fine comes in the wake of similar penalties levied against major e-commerce platforms for their failure to adhere to regulatory requirements. The CCPA's enforcement aims to protect consumers from potential safety hazards associated with non-compliant electronic devices, emphasizing the importance of certifications and proper disclosures in the digital marketplace. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, businesses operating online are urged to prioritize compliance to avoid facing similar penalties in the future.
