On July 14, 2025, India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) announced a further extension for filing quarterly and annual returns for Financial Year 2024-25. The new deadline has been extended from June 30, 2025, to August 15, 2025.
This extension provides crucial additional time for all registered entities to submit their quarterly and annual returns on the E-Waste EPR Portal . The CPCB emphasizes that failure to comply by the revised deadline of August 15, 2025, will result in appropriate action under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
Background on India's E-Waste Regulations
India's e-waste regulatory framework, rooted in E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, operates on the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). This principle holds producers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, including post-consumer waste management. The regulations mandate various obligations for registered entities, such as collection and recycling targets, regular reporting, and environmental compensation for non-compliance
