CB radios do not require a licence to operate, and therefore, are perfectly legal to use in India as well . CB radios operate in a narrow frequency band between 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz which is delicensed and meant for open communication between regular citizens.

It must be noted that it is legal to use both licensed and unlicensed walkie-talkies in India . No Government permission is required for using them.

“Though the radios cannot be used for communication, they can over hear it ,” Sukeshan added. Normally, the private organizations are given licences to operate between 87.5 MHz and 108.0 MHz. “Any attempt to enter the frequency used by the police is an offence under the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act,” Sukeshan said.14 Şub 2012
