Aluminium Scrap Dealer Compliance in India
Licensing, documentation and environmental requirements for trading aluminium scrap.
Aluminium scrap trading sits at the intersection of trade licensing, GST compliance and, depending on volume and processing, environmental clearances.
Compliance Essentials
- Trade/scrap dealer license from local municipal authority
- GST registration for scrap trading (subject to reverse charge rules)
- Pollution Control Board registration if processing/melting is involved
- Weighbridge and record-keeping compliance for large volumes
GST Considerations for Scrap Trade
Metal scrap trading has specific GST treatment including reverse charge mechanism provisions in many cases — getting this wrong is a common compliance gap for scrap dealers that can trigger notices during audits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need PCB clearance just to trade scrap without processing?
Pure trading (buy-sell without melting/processing) generally has lighter environmental requirements than facilities that process or melt scrap — Leegal can confirm what applies to your specific operations.
How does GST reverse charge affect scrap trading?
Certain scrap categories fall under reverse charge provisions, meaning the buyer (not seller) may be liable for GST — this needs careful invoice structuring.
