Summary
- The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has fined Xboom INR 10 lakh for listing anti-drone systems and jammers without necessary regulatory disclosures.
- The penalty, imposed on September 17, 2026, follows suo motu proceedings revealing violations of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and E-Commerce Rules, 2020.
- Xboom's argument that it operated an enquiry-based model was rejected by the CCPA, which emphasized that online representations qualify as advertisements.
- The ruling mandates Xboom to ensure compliance before offering such products and submit a compliance report within 15 days, raising questions about its due diligence practices.
