EPR Registration in Assam
Register your business for Extended Producer Responsibility from Assam -- category classification, CPCB EPR Portal registration and annual compliance, handled for you.
EPR Compliance for Businesses in Assam
Extended Producer Responsibility registration for plastic packaging, e-waste and battery waste is granted through CPCB's centralised EPR Portal. In Assam, the Pollution Control Board, Assam (PCBA) is the regulatory authority responsible for state-level monitoring and compliance verification of registered producers, importers and brand-owners.
For plastic packaging specifically, single-state operations are generally registered directly with the State Pollution Control Board, while multi-state operations register with CPCB; for e-waste and battery waste, EPR authorisation itself is granted centrally by CPCB regardless of the state of operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Assam have its own EPR registration process?
EPR registration itself runs through CPCB's centralised national portal, not a separate Assam-specific system. the Pollution Control Board, Assam (PCBA) is responsible for monitoring compliance of registered entities within the state.
Which rules cover EPR in India?
Extended Producer Responsibility is set out under the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 (as amended, including the 2022 EPR Guidelines for Plastic Packaging), the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, and the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022 -- each administered under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
Where do I register for EPR?
Registration is done on CPCB's centralised EPR Portal, which has separate modules for plastic packaging, e-waste and battery waste. Producers, Importers and Brand Owners (PIBOs) create a profile, submit entity and product details, and receive an EPR Registration Certificate.
Does the State Pollution Control Board grant the EPR certificate?
For e-waste and battery waste, EPR authorisation is granted centrally by CPCB. For plastic packaging, CPCB generally registers producers/importers/brand-owners with multi-state operations, while the State Pollution Control Board registers those operating within a single state -- in both cases the State Board's core role is monitoring and compliance verification within the state.
What happens after EPR registration?
Registered entities must meet their annual EPR targets by engaging registered recyclers, refurbishers or Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs), collect the corresponding EPR certificates, and file Annual Returns on the CPCB portal declaring quantities placed on the market against quantities processed.
What if a business doesn't register or misses its targets?
The Rules empower CPCB and the State Pollution Control Boards to take enforcement action, including environmental compensation, for non-registration or shortfall against EPR obligations. We help clients register correctly and stay current on filings to avoid this.
Can Leegal handle EPR registration and annual compliance together?
Yes -- we handle category classification, portal registration/authorisation, and ongoing annual return filing as a single engagement.
