How Viha Enterprises Can Help
Registration support for producers, importers, brand owners and plastic waste processors on the EPR portal.
Responsible authority / service scope
Role-specific plastic-packaging EPR registration: CPCB or concerned SPCB/PCC according to jurisdiction; centralized Common EPR portal.
Eligibility & Applicability
- Applicable plastic-packaging producers, importers and brand owners (PIBOs); assess statutory role and current exemptions.
- Published SOP/FAQ allocate PIBOs operating in more than two States/UTs to CPCB and one or two to the concerned SPCB/PCC. Confirm current amended rules and portal allocation.
- Multiple business roles may require separate role applications. An exemption for some small brand owners is not a blanket producer/importer exemption.
Application / Transaction Process
- 1Identify packaging stream, PIBO role(s), operating states and competent registering authority.
- 2Prepare entity KYC and category-wise packaging/transaction data.
- 3Apply through the current Common EPR portal, respond to queries and obtain role-specific registration.
- 4Track applicable recycling/reuse/recycled-content obligations, eligible certificate transactions and prescribed returns.
Documents & Information to Prepare
Indicative checklist; include conditional items only where applicable. The authority or transaction adviser confirms the final requirements.
- Entity PAN, GST and CIN where applicable; authorised-person KYC/signature and covering letter.
- Packaging categories, quantities and transaction information.
- IEC for importers; process flow and facility consents for producers where applicable.
- DIC/enterprise records and other role-specific evidence requested by the current service.
Important Conditions
- Plastic EPR is distinct from plastic-waste processor registration and does not replace MPCB CTE/CTO.
- The legacy plastic portal states it was discontinued from 28 June 2026; older SOP attachments are preparation guidance, not a guarantee that current screens are unchanged.
Practical guidance, not an approval or eligibility determination. Requirements vary by activity, location, applicant role and current rules. Confirm the live authority checklist before filing; fees, timelines and incentives are not guaranteed.
