CBIC To Implement The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 w.e.f. April 2023

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has issued instructions regarding the implementation of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, which supersede the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Climate Change has notified the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, in supersession of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016, which shall come into force on April 1, 2023.

The new rules have introduced the concept of a modified Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and focus completely on a market-based model, with all procedures being online and seamless.

The Port and Customs Authorities have to take the necessary action, inter alia, to verify the import or export with respect to Extended Producer Responsibility, inform the Ministry and Central Pollution Control Board of any illegal traffic, and take action against the importer for violations under the Indian Ports Act, 1908, or the Customs Act, 1962.
