Digital Compliance Portal: Step-by-Step Guide
IMPORTANT: All Bulk Waste Generators (BWGs) must complete their registration on the Central SWM Portal by April 30, 2026. Failure to register attracts a flat penalty of ₹10,000.
1. Registration Phase (One-Time)
Before you can log your daily waste, you must create your entity profile. This links your society/business to the National Green Tribunal (NGT) monitoring grid.
Prerequisites:
- Society/Company PAN Card
- GST Certificate (if applicable)
- Authorization Letter from the RWA President (for Societies)
- Electricity Bill (Address Proof)
Step-by-Step Registration
- Go to the official URL: SBM-Urban Central Portal (or your State PCB Portal).
- Click on **"New Registration"** and select User Type: **"Bulk Waste Generator"**.
- Enter your **Entity PAN**. The system will auto-fetch your Trade Name.
- Geo-Tagging: You will be asked to pin your location on the map. Accuracy is crucial—inspectors use this to find your gate.
- Upload your **"Waste Management Plan"** (PDF).
- //(Don't have one? Use our EBWGR Template to create it.)//
- Submit and wait for OTP verification on the registered mobile number.
2. Daily Waste Logging (Mandatory)
Under SWM 2026 rules, you must log your "Waste Balance" every day before 11:00 AM. This data feeds into the municipal dashboard.
| Metric | What to Enter | Source of Data |
| Total Generated | Weight of all bins combined (kg) | Security Gate Weighing Scale |
| Processed In-Situ | Weight of Wet Waste put into Compost Pits (kg) | Housekeeping Logbook |
| Handed Over | Weight of Dry/Reject waste given to Vendor (kg) | Vendor Receipt |
| Gap/Leakage | Any waste not accounted for (Must be 0) | Auto-Calculated |
Common Error:
- If //Processed + Handed Over < Total Generated//, the system will flag your entity for "Illegal Dumping."
3. Annual Report Filing (Form V)
The **Annual Report (Form V)** is your statutory declaration to the Pollution Control Board. It is due every year on **June 30th**.
Checklist for Form V
- Aggregated Data: Total waste generated from April 1 to March 31.
- Vendor Manifests: You must upload the "Certificate of Recycling" provided by your authorized vendor.
- Reject Rate: If you sent >15% of your waste to the landfill, you must provide a "Justification Report."
How to Submit
- Log in to the Portal and go to **"Compliance > Annual Returns"**.
- Select **"Form V (Rule 24)"**.
- The system will pre-fill data based on your 365 daily logs. Verify this carefully.
- If the numbers match your physical records, click **"E-Sign"**.
- Download the **"Acknowledgement Receipt"** and display it on your Notice Board.
