The Punjab Pollution Control Board is tasked with enforcing the laws regarding protecting the environment in Punjab state. Punjab Pollution Board has been working to control and prevent water and air pollution in the state. The primary function of the board includes granting consent under the Water and Air Act, as well as overseeing environmental law compliance of industries in the state.
The PPCB regulates environmental issues that pose a large threat to the safety of living beings. The board further provides assistance to its state to help control, prevent, and improve the quality of life by reducing pollution.
The Punjab Pollution Control Committee (PPCB) is a statutory organization working under the Department of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Punjab, Govt. of Bihar. As an agency of government, it ensures the implementation of environmental laws and standards to check pollution in the state’s environment. PPCB regularly measures, analyzes and supervises air, water & soil monitoring data, issues PCC (pollution control consent to establish and operate), and checks conformance to environmental norms & standards by the industries. It also provides and implements environmental sensitization programs and also offers policy advice to the government on environmental issues. PPCB operates under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, promoting sustainable development.
The following are the objectives of PPCB registration and NOC:
Registration:
For all industry categories, a No Objection Certificate or consent to establish is necessary. Prior to the start of any business, the PPCB issues a certificate known as a CTE. The CTE from the State Pollution Control Board is required for each project proponent. The application must be submitted through the given procedure with the application fee and inspection of the same. These documents make sure that any covenants mentioned in the certificate are not objectionable to an enterprise.
The unit that is established needs to get the No Objection Certificate from the SPCB for the operations of the project or unit in the concerned state. The application for the Consent to operate requires to fill a separate form along with the application fee and documents, based on the correctness of the same application.
To obtain Consent Certificates (Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO)) from the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB), the following documents are generally required:
The validity period for the Consent to Establish will be one year and for Consent to Operate for all industries, it will be five years, except for green industries, which will have ten years of validity.
The following is the procedure for getting a consent certificate:
Manufacturers of large, medium, and small-scale industries must submit the application in the prescribed format with site details, registration certificate, etc. This completed application has to be submitted to the PPCB along with the documents and applicable fees.
Following the submission of the application and the attached documents are reviewed by the state-level consent committee as per the stipulated guidelines.
After reviewing the application, authorized personnel conduct an inspection, after which the inspection report is prepared.
If the inspection report is up to the mark, then the consent certificate is granted to the manufacturer by the PPCB.
The categorization processes have been primarily based on the scale of the industries and resources consumption, and pollution from the release of pollutants and effluents, as well as its anticipated impact on health, has not been regarded as a primary criterion. The categories are as follows:
In conclusion, CPCB guidelines are established to prevent and control pollution and to ensure that these guidelines are followed in each state. State boards have been formed and PPCB is also part of it. Following its obligation, PPCB ensures to protect the environment by controlling and preventing the pollution released by the establishments. PPCB also issued CTE and CTO certificates to industries, they categorized the industries into red, orange, green, and white categories for regulation. They provide advice to the state government on pollution prevention and control measures. So if you want to have smooth operations, industries need to obtain clearances from PPCB.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
