Electronic waste (e-waste) creates a global crisis due to environmental degradation. India, as a growing economy, is facing serious challenges in managing the volume of generated e-waste due to lack of environmental awareness and socio-economic issues. Major concern of e-waste management in India is its recycling undertaken by non-formal sector not adhering to health and environmental norms.

While e-waste poses a problem for the environment it is also a source of valuable resources and contains a number of precious metal and mineral resources, which are available in very limited quantities in nature.

While Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change is involved in enacting laws, guidelines referring to e-waste and has formulated the E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2010 wrt safe handling of e-waste, Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) has addressed indigenous technology development through its R&D efforts to recycle e-waste and extract pressure resources following environment and health norms.

In this direction DeitY has initiated a demonstration plant to showcase its developed technology of processing printed circuit boards (PCB) to recover precious metals at Bangalore. DeitY also proposes to provide capital subsidy to authorized recyclers for processing e-waste similar to support available under the M-SIPS scheme of DeitY. Further recyclers using indigenous technology could be given additional advantage.

DeitY seeks views and suggestion to address the e-waste issues both in term of technology development as well as policy initiatives.

Comments should be received by 10th February, 2015.

The TDS on bank deposit interest must be abolished. Most retiress live on bank deposit interest. Removing TDD will be a great help for them and will also bring back deposits to banks from chit funds and ponzi schemes.

Sir, In Tamilnadu, there are many engineering colleges... Some engineering colleges have biotech(b.tech) department. Per year many students get pass and trying for job which is related to bio tech department. But nowadays, there is no job vacant particularly for this department. many companies are trying to recruit degree cadres like b.sc(biotech) and m.sc(biotech). I dont know, why that particular colleges providing that course and spoiled many youth students life. please consider it sir

In order to minimise the effect of tax evasion, some method to offer incentive to make expenses through banking channels, credit card or other traceable means should be introduced by way of deduction from taxable income. Some way to reward a person who is insisting on making payments against proper Tax Invoice.
