The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEF & CC) has extended the deadline for filing quarterly and annual returns under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2024. The new deadline is 31st August 2024, instead of 30th June 2024.

Registered producers and recyclers must submit their returns for the 2023-24 financial year on the E-Waste EPR Portal by 31st August 2024. The generation and transfer of the EPR Certificate will also continue on the EPR Portal until the new deadline. This extension follows a letter from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) dated 26th June 2024, which cited system issues, incorrect entries, and portal functionality problems. The CPCB’s request came after numerous industry appeals for more time. The MoEF & CC approved the extension via letter No. 12/136/2021-HSM, dated 1st July 2024, under Rule 9A of the E-Waste (Management) Amendment Rules, 2024.
