BEE Labelling Fee Regulations 2025

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has proposed the BEE (Labeling Fees) Regulations, 2025, which aims to regularize the structure of fees under its standards and labeling programme. The regulations apply to all mandatory and voluntary devices listed under Schedule A and B. Fundamental provisions contain a one-time application fee of Rs 5,000 for company registration, a label security deposit of Rs 5 lakh per appliance (Rs 1 lakh for small-scale industries), and Rs 5,000 label permission fee per application. The renewal fee is Rs 1,000, as long as there is no alteration in the star rating. Label fees for compulsory and voluntary devices are payable quarterly, with penalties for delay in payment. Failure to adhere may result in loss of the security deposit and public notification of defaulters. License holders must also provide verified production data certified by a Chartered Accountant. This draft has been published for public feedback within 30 days of its Gazette notification. All payments will be made electronically.
