CCPA Slaps ₹10 Lakh Fine on Meesho for Walkie-Talkie Disclosure Lapse

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has imposed a penalty of ₹10 lakh on Meesho for permitting the sale and advertisement of walkie-talkies without mandatory statutory disclosures.

The authority said the platform allowed listings till May 2025 without informing consumers about compliance requirements under telecom laws. The CCPA held that the omission constituted a misleading advertisement and exposed buyers to legal risks.

It directed Meesho to ensure that future listings of regulated communication devices carry all required warnings and compliance details.

The order reinforces due-diligence obligations for e-commerce platforms under consumer protection norms.
