The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has issued a significant regulatory update for manufacturers, importers, and brand owners dealing with television sets in India. Through Gazette Notification S.O. 352(E) dated 22 January 2026, the Government has officially extended the implementation deadline for Television Sets covered under the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021. As per the latest notification, the compliance deadline has now been extended from 26 January 2026 to 26 July 2026, giving businesses an additional six months to obtain BIS CRS Registration and comply with IS 18112:2022.
The extension comes as a relief for the electronics industry, which had requested additional time to complete product testing, documentation, certification, and manufacturing adjustments. Although businesses have received more time, this should not be viewed as an opportunity to postpone compliance. BIS CRS certification involves multiple stages, including laboratory testing, document verification, application review, and approval. Starting the process early will help businesses avoid last-minute delays and ensure uninterrupted sales after the revised implementation date.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has once again revised the implementation timeline for television sets under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).
According to the latest Gazette Notification:
The notification has been issued under the powers conferred by the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, read with the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021.
The latest notification does not introduce a new product category or change the technical requirements of the standard.
Instead, it extends the implementation timeline for Television Sets (Sl. No. 64) covered under IS 18112:2022.
This latest extension supersedes the earlier implementation timeline and provides businesses with additional preparation time.
The Government has considered representations from industry stakeholders regarding practical implementation challenges.
Manufacturers highlighted several concerns, including:
To facilitate smoother implementation across the industry, MeitY has granted another extension until 26 July 2026.
This notification specifically applies to:
Television Sets were included as Serial Number 64 under the schedule of the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021.
The applicable Indian Standard is:
IS 18112:2022
Manufacturers and importers supplying television sets in India must comply with this standard before the revised implementation date.
This notification is important for:
Businesses planning to launch new television models should review their compliance strategy immediately.
Yes.
Many businesses mistakenly believe that an extension means the certification requirement has been removed.
That is not true.
The latest Gazette notification only extends the implementation date. The requirement to obtain BIS CRS Registration for Television Sets under IS 18112:2022 remains unchanged.
After 26 July 2026, applicable products must comply with the notification before they can be manufactured, imported, or sold in the Indian market.
Although the Government has granted an additional six months, businesses should begin their BIS CRS compliance activities immediately. Waiting until the last few weeks before the implementation date can lead to delays in testing, documentation, and certification.
Manufacturers and importers should:
Starting early helps businesses ensure uninterrupted manufacturing, import, and sales after the revised implementation date.
Once the revised implementation date becomes effective, television sets covered under the notification must comply with the requirements of IS 18112:2022 under the Compulsory Registration Scheme.
Businesses that fail to obtain BIS CRS Registration before the implementation date may face:
Manufacturers should therefore utilise this extension period to complete certification without unnecessary delays.
The television industry continues to evolve rapidly with the introduction of Smart TVs, OLED, QLED, Mini-LED, AI-enabled televisions, and connected entertainment devices. Compliance with updated Indian Standards often requires product redesign, laboratory testing, and documentation updates.
The latest extension provides manufacturers with:
Rather than delaying compliance, businesses should treat this extension as an opportunity to complete certification efficiently.

The latest MeitY Gazette Notification S.O. 352(E) extends the implementation deadline for Television Sets under IS 18112:2022 from 26 January 2026 to 26 July 2026. This extension provides manufacturers, importers, and brand owners with additional time to complete BIS CRS certification while ensuring smooth implementation of the Compulsory Registration Scheme.
However, businesses should not postpone compliance. BIS CRS Registration requires sufficient time for product testing, documentation, and regulatory approvals.

The notification applies specifically to Television Sets covered under Serial No. 64 of the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021.

No. The latest notification only extends the implementation timeline. BIS CRS Registration remains mandatory for Television Sets covered under IS 18112:2022. Businesses must obtain registration before the revised implementation date.
The Government extended the deadline after receiving representations from industry stakeholders requesting additional time to complete product testing, documentation, certification, and manufacturing adjustments for compliance with the revised Indian Standard.
BIS CRS Registration is required by:
IS 18112:2022 is the applicable Indian Standard prescribed for Television Sets under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). Products covered under this standard must meet the specified safety and quality requirements before they are marketed in India.
Non-compliance may lead to customs clearance issues, restrictions on manufacturing or import, regulatory action by BIS, product sale restrictions, and other legal consequences under the applicable regulations.
The registration timeline depends on factors such as product testing, documentation quality, laboratory reports, and BIS processing. Applying well before the implementation deadline helps avoid unnecessary delays.
Foreign manufacturers are required to appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) to represent them before BIS if they do not have an office in India.
PSR Compliance provides complete end-to-end assistance for BIS CRS Registration, including product eligibility assessment, documentation preparation, coordination with BIS-recognised laboratories, application filing, AIR services, BIS query handling, and post-registration compliance support.
