Correct Answer Explanation

The comprehensive e-Waste (Management) Rules were notified in 2016 by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. These rules superseded the e-waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011. A key feature of the 2016 rules was the introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

Incorrect Options Analysis
  • 2011: The first set of e-waste rules was introduced, but the question likely refers to the widely cited 2016 update which tightened regulations.

सही उत्तर का विवरण

व्यापक ई-कचरा (प्रबंधन) नियम वर्ष 2016 में अधिसूचित किए गए थे। इन्होंने 2011 के नियमों का स्थान लिया। इन नियमों की एक प्रमुख विशेषता विस्तारित उत्पादक उत्तरदायित्व (EPR) है, जिसके तहत निर्माताओं को अपने उत्पादों के अंत-जीवन (end-of-life) कचरे के प्रबंधन के लिए जिम्मेदार बनाया गया है।

गलत विकल्पों का विश्लेषण
  • 2011: इस वर्ष पहले नियम आए थे, लेकिन 2016 में उन्हें अधिक सख्त और प्रभावी बनाया गया।
