E-waste EPR registration, targets and returns, handled end to end.
Electronics and electrical brands, importers and manufacturers must register on CPCB’s EPR portal under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 and meet recycling targets every year. We register you, calculate your obligation, buy EPR certificates from registered recyclers and file your returns.
What e-waste EPR requires
Register
Every producer, manufacturer, refurbisher and recycler of Schedule I equipment registers on CPCB’s portal.
Meet Targets
Recycle a rising share of the e-waste your past sales generate, through certificates from registered recyclers.
File Returns
Report sales, certificates and compliance each year, and keep records for CPCB audits.

EPR has moved to the Common EPR Portal
From the notices on CPCB’s EPR portals.
Single sign-on for every EPR portal epr.cpcb.gov.in
CPCB’s Common EPR Portal now provides single sign-on to all its EPR portals: e-waste, plastic, battery, tyre and used oil.
Plastic data migrated From 28 June 2026
The old plastic EPR portal was discontinued from 28 June 2026 and its data migrated to the Common EPR Portal. Registered units must verify their migrated data and report any mismatch.
FY 2025-26 annual returns on hold Schedule awaited
Annual return filing for FY 2025-26 is currently unavailable on the Common EPR Portal; CPCB has said a revised schedule and extended lapse period will be announced when the module launches. We track it for you.
Tickets, not emails CPCB ticket module
Unresolved portal issues must now be raised through CPCB’s ticket module, and stakeholder meetings run daily on weekdays.
Your e-waste EPR step by step
Registration is the start. The real work is meeting targets and filing returns every year.
Product & Volume Audit
We map your products to the rules and work out your obligation from sales or import data.
Week 1CPCB Registration
Application, documents and fees filed on the CPCB EPR portal; queries answered.
Week 1–4Target Plan
Yearly targets calculated and a plan to meet them through registered recyclers or a PRO.
After registrationEPR Certificates
Certificates bought from registered recyclers and transferred on the portal against your targets.
Through the yearReturns & Records
Quarterly or annual returns filed on time and records kept for CPCB audits.
Every yearEPR compliance for businesses across India
EPR registration and returns are filed centrally with CPCB, so we work with producers, importers and brand owners in every state, and with recyclers and PROs across India, including:
Common EPR mistakes
Selling Before Registration
Unregistered producers can face environmental compensation and can’t legally place products on the market.
Wrong Base Data
Targets are calculated from sales or import data. Errors carry into every year’s obligation.
Buying Certificates Late
Certificate prices and availability tighten near deadlines. Plan through the year.
Missing Returns
Late or missing returns can bring compensation and suspension of portal access.
Ignoring RoHS
Non-compliant substances can lead to recalls even if your EPR is in order.
Forgetting the Battery
Batteries inside devices need separate battery EPR.
Other EPR obligations you may have
A battery-powered device in plastic packaging can need e-waste, battery and plastic EPR at once.
Plastic Waste EPR
Plastic packaging: PIBO registration, targets and recycled content. See Plastic Waste EPR.
Battery Waste EPR
Portable, automotive, industrial and EV batteries. See Battery Waste EPR.
Tyre Waste EPR
New tyre manufacturers, importers and waste tyre importers. See Tyre Waste EPR.
Used Oil EPR
Base and lubricating oil producers, importers and recyclers. See Used Oil EPR.
