Cosmological model with viscous generalized Chaplygin gas (in short, VGCG) is considered here to determine observational constraints on its equation of state parameters (in short, EoS) from background data. These data consists of $$H(z)-z$$H(z)-z (OHD) data, Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations peak parameter, CMB shift parameter and SN Ia data (Union 2.1). Best-fit values of the EoS parameters including present Hubble parameter ($$H_{0}$$H0) and their acceptable range at different confidence limits are determined. In this model the permitted range for the present Hubble parameter and the transition redshift ($$z_{t}$$zt) at $$1\sigma $$1σ confidence limits are $$H_{0}= 70.24^{+0.34}_{-0.36}$$H0=70.24-0.36+0.34 and $$z_{t}=0.76^{+0.07}_{-0.07}$$zt=0.76-0.07+0.07 respectively. These EoS parameters are then compared with those of other models. Present age of the Universe ($$t_{0}$$t0) have also been determined here. Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion for the model selection have been adopted for comparison with other models. It is noted that VGCG model satisfactorily accommodates the present accelerating phase of the Universe.
