TaxClue does not handle this service. It is on the checklist because many of our clients need it. Raise a request and we will try to connect you with someone who can do it, where possible.

How EPR registration (plastic packaging) works

The usual picture. Procedures, fees and forms differ by state and authority — always check the current rules before you apply.

Who needs it

  • Brand owners selling products in plastic packaging, including on marketplaces
  • Producers of plastic packaging material
  • Importers of plastic packaging or of goods packed in plastic
  • Plastic waste processors and recyclers (as PWPs)

Documents usually asked for

  • GST, PAN and incorporation documents
  • Quantity and category of plastic packaging used, by year
  • Details of the states you sell in
  • Consent from the state pollution control board, for producers

The process

  1. Work out your plastic packaging by category and weight
  2. Register on the CPCB centralised EPR portal
  3. Buy EPR certificates from registered processors to meet your targets
  4. File annual returns by the due date
