Pollution Control Board Consent comes up with a lot of questions, especially for manufacturing units and commercial establishments falling under notified pollution categories dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.
Do all businesses need pollution board consent?
No, it applies to notified categories of industries and commercial activities based on pollution potential.
What's the difference between Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate?
Consent to Establish is needed before construction; Consent to Operate is needed before actual operations begin.
How long is a consent valid?
Validity varies by category and state, typically requiring periodic renewal.
What are the risks of operating without consent?
This can lead to penalties, closure orders, and complications with other regulatory approvals.
Still Have Questions?
Every business situation is a little different, and Pollution Control Board Consent is no exception. If your case doesn't fit neatly into the questions above, it's worth getting a second opinion before proceeding.
