The Batteries Management and Handling Rules were adopted in 2001 with the primary goal of ensuring the safe disposal of discarded lead acid batteries with the participation of all stakeholders. To ensure environmentally sound recycling of used batteries, rules have been established to ensure proper monitoring and record keeping on the selling or import of lead acid batteries, as well as the storage of used batteries for recycling by registered recyclers.
Improper lead handling and recycling could endanger workers' health and have a negative effect on the environment. As a result, it is critical to ensure that secondary lead processing takes place in facilities that are registered with the Central or State Pollution Control Boards in an environmentally sustainable manner. It is essential to ensure that all recyclables are directed to approved recycling facilities. It is also necessary to put an end to the widespread practice of smelting used lead acid batteries in backyards throughout the Country.
Manufacturers, importers, reconditioners, and assemblers have responsibilities under the Batteries Rules to ensure that used batteries are collected and routed to Authorized recyclers. Other stakeholders, such as retailers, recyclers, customers, auctioneers, and regulators, including customs authorities, were also assigned responsibilities.

Every manufacturer, producer, collection centre, importer, reconditioner, refurbisher, dismantler, assembler, dealer, recycler, auctioneer, vehicle service centre, consumer, and bulk consumer involved in the manufacture, processing, sale, purchase, collection, storage, reprocessing, and use of batteries or their components, including their components, consumables, and spare parts that make up the product operational
All types of batteries, regardless of form, length, weight, material composition, or use, as specified in Schedule-I;
All appliances into which a battery is or may be fixed to operate

Person who is generating battery waste must obtain permission from the State Pollution Control Board or the Pollution Control Committee of the Union territories concerned, as the case may be;
He must submit an application in Form 2(A) to the State Pollution Control Board or the Pollution Control Committee for authorization.
Following receipt of a complete application for authorization in all respects, the State Pollution Control Board or the Pollution Control Committee of Union territories can, after making any inquiries it deems necessary and being satisfied that the applicant has appropriate facilities, technical capabilities, and equipment to safely handle battery waste, grant a permit within ninety days in form no 2(B) and it is valid for five years.
Every person authorized under these rules must keep a record of the battery waste they handle in Form 6 and prepare and submit an annual return containing the information stated in Form 1 to the State Pollution Control Board or Pollution Control Committee on or before the 30th day of June following the financial year to which the return relates.

The applicant is required to submit the above stated documents, along with the application, in a prescribed format, to the State Pollution Control Board. The concerned officer may inspect the premises where the battery materials are being used and may issue some clarifications. Once the clarifications issued by the Inspecting Authority are suitably submitted, the Battery waste Management Authorization certificate is issued.

The Government fee for Battery Waste Management (BWM) Authorization certificate may range from NIL to up to Rs.10,000 depending on the State Pollution Control Board. If an agency is hired for the same, it may charge you some fee. Metacorp charges Rs.20,000 as consulting fee for end to end delivery of Battery Waste Management (BWM) Authorization certificate.

Any producer of battery/battery-containing equipment must apply for EPR Authorisation in Form 3 to State Pollution Control Board Pollution Control Committees in the case of selling their product in one state or to the Central Pollution Control Board in the case of selling their product in more than one state within three months of the date of commencement of these rules.
In the case of a pan-India authorization, upon receipt of a complete application in all respects, a committee constituted by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) with representatives from State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Pollution Control Committees(PCC), after evaluating the State-specific EPR Plan, after such an inquiry as it deems appropriate, and on being satisfied that the producer has detailed out an effective system to manage Extended Producer Responsibility, The EPR-Authorization would be valid for a maximum of five years at first.

‘Battery’ or ‘’accumulator’’ means any source of electrical energy produced by direct conversion of chemical energy, including disposable primary (Alkaline/Mercury/Silver oxide/Zinc Carbon) batteries, rechargeable secondary (Lead Acid/Lithium Ion/Lithium Metal/Nickel Cadmium) batteries, and any other battery that contains (or may produce) potassium hydroxide at the end of its life.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) refers to any battery manufacturer's responsibility for their products beyond production before environmentally sound end-of-life management; and for the channelization of waste batteries to ensure environmentally sound waste management. Implementing a take-back scheme, setting up recycling centres, or both, and making agreed agreements with registered recyclers either individually or jointly through a Producer Responsibility Organization acknowledged by producer or producers in their Extended Producer Responsibility are examples of Extended Producer Responsibility. - Authorization;
‘Producer' refers to someone who: i. manufactures and offers to sell batteries and their components, consumables, parts, or spares under their own brand; or ii. manufactures or offers to sell equipment / products that use a battery or batteries as a component under their own brand; or iii. offers to sell assembled battery under their own brand.

Introduction

The amount of lead generated from secondary sources is greater than the amount produced from primary sources. According to estimates, the country's lead consumption is about 4.5 lakh tonnes, with only around 1.6 lakh tonnes derived from primary sources. Primary lead production is also decreasing across the world. This means that every year, more lead is produced via the secondary path, which involves hundreds of small-scale recyclers across the country. It is critical to ensure that lead is generated by secondary smelting only in an environmentally sustainable manner, as failure to do so would result in significant environmental and health issues. The Batteries Management and Handling Rules were adopted in 2001 with the primary goal of ensuring the safe disposal of discarded lead acid batteries with the participation of all stakeholders. To ensure environmentally sound recycling of used batteries, rules have been established to ensure proper monitoring and record keeping on the selling or import of lead acid batteries, as well as the storage of used batteries for recycling by registered recyclers.
