In India, Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are still in their infancy. While the concept of creating markets for ecosystem services has been theoretically recognised and tested in pilot projects, the notion has yet to be incorporated into the region's institutional and legal framework. Although India's National Environmental Policy (2006) recognises PES and effort have been made to establish it, the legislative and administrative structures necessary to effect PES remain inadequate. In this context, it is critical to recognise the prerequisites for establishing enabling institutional and legal environments conducive to the further development of PES. Numerous concerns must be resolved in order to provide the framework for adopting PES in the region, including property rights, particular legal requirements for PES, and contract law adjustments, to mention a few. The article makes an attempt to evaluate India's legal and institutional environment through the lens of enabling laws and policies, property rights issues, cross-sectoral connections, and institutional structure in order to draw lessons for developing more efficient PES mechanisms in India. This was accomplished by first assessing the current state of PES in India, followed by an examination of the intended legal structure, institutional configuration, and role of community institutions in its implementation.
