EPR Penalties & Environmental Compensation — questions we get
What is environmental compensation?
Environmental compensation is a financial consequence that CPCB or an SPCB can levy for EPR non-compliance such as non-registration or unmet targets. The amounts and basis are set by notification and the applicable rules. We confirm the current position rather than quoting fixed figures.
What conduct triggers penalties?
Common triggers include failing to register, missing targets, defective returns or ignoring notices under the applicable rules. Each carries its own consequence. We help you identify and close these exposures.
Can consequences be remediated?
Many issues can be remediated by registering, sourcing certificates to close shortfalls and filing corrected returns, subject to the current rules. Acting early limits the impact. We manage the remediation and any response to notices.
