G.S.R. 680(E). - In exercise of the powers conferred by Sections 4 and 7 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 (13 of 1885) and Sections 4 and 10 of the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933 (17 of 1933), the Central Government hereby makes the following rules, namely:- 1. Short title and commencement. - (1) These rules may be called the Use of low power devices or equipments for indoor applications in the 433 to 434 MHz frequency range (Exemption from Licensing Requirement) Rules, 2012. (2) They shall come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette. 2. Definitions. - In these rules, unless the context otherwise requires, words and expressions used in these rules and not defined, but defined in the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 (13 of 1885); and the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933 (17 of 1933) shall have the same meanings respectively assigned to them in those the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 (13 of 1885); and the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933 (17 of 1933). 3. Use of low power devices or equipments ,for indoor applications in the 433 to 434 MHz frequency range. - No person shall require license to establish, maintain, work, possess or deal in any wireless equipment for the purpose of usage of low power devices, or equipments for indoor applications in the 433 to 434 MHz frequency range, on non-interference, Non-protection and shared (non exclusive) basis, with built-in antenna and Technical parameters as specified in the Table below, namely: -

Provided that it does not in any way, affects the licensing rights or procedures of existing and planned wireless operations, in this frequency band. 4. Interference. - The effect of unwanted energy due to one or a combination of emissions, radiations or induction upon reception in a radio communication system, manifested by any performance degradation, misinterpretation, or loss of information which could be extracted in the absence of such unwanted energy, where any person whom a license has been issued under the provisions of section 4 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 (13 of 1885) and section 4 of the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933 (17 of 1933) informs that his licensed system is getting harmful interference from any other radio communication system exempted under these rules, the user of such unlicensed wireless equipment shall take necessary steps to avoid interference by relocating the equipment, reducing the power, using special type of antennae including discontinuation of such wireless use, if required: Provided that, before such discontinuation, a reasonable opportunity to explain the circumstances shall be given to such unlicensed user of wireless equipment by the issuing authority. 5. Equipment. - (1) The low power devices or equipments shall be of Equipment Type Approved designed and constructed in such a manner so that the technical parameters shall conform to the limits specified in the Table referred to in rule 3. (2) The application for obtaining the Equipment Type Approval shall be made to the Central Government in the application format given in Annexure.
