Aspects relate to wireless communication on multiple component carriers. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may selectively apply transmission configuration indicator (TCI) information and/or spatial relation information received via a medium access control—control element (MAC-CE) to component carriers. In some examples, a UE may apply the TCI information and/or spatial relation information included in a MAC-CE to multiple component carriers if the UE has been configured with a list that includes the component carriers (and, optionally, if a component carrier identified by the MAC-CE is a member of the list of component carriers). If the above condition is (or conditions are) not met, the UE applies the TCI information and/or spatial relation information included in the MAC-CE to the component carrier identified by the MAC-CE.
