UPPCB 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 UPPCB registration:
For all industry categories, a No Objection Certificate or consent to establish is necessary. prior to the start of any business, the UPPCB 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.

The following is the procedure for getting a consent certificate:
Manufacturers are required to apply in the given format with site details, registration certificate, etc. This application has to be submitted, along with the documents and applicable fees.
Following submission to the General Manager, DIC, and Regional officials, the application and the application and the attached documents are reviewed as per the stipulated guidelines.
An official field inspection visit to the site follows the authorities' review of the application, and it is this visit that serves as the basis for the inspection report.
If the inspection report is up to the mark, then the consent certificate is granted to the manufacturer by the UPPCB.
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:
With the help of categorization, cleaner technology will be adopted by industrial sectors, which will ultimately produce no or very little pollution. It will also make sure that the industry is formed in a way that aligns with environmental goals
The validity of consent to establish is three years and consent to operate is five years. if the prices for these years are remitted, consent may be given for the orange category for a maximum of 10 years and the green category for a maximum of 15 years.
Validity of the renewed Consent
The maximum timeframe for finishing the process is one week from the date of the completed application is submitted. At three months before its expiry, a request for its renewal must be made. A penalty equal to 25% of the prescribed Consent will be imposed if the renewal applications are received during the last three months of the validity period. A fine equal to 50% of the consent fee must be paid if the application is submitted after the validity period has passed.
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 UPPCB is also part of it. Following its obligation, UPPCB ensures to protect the environment by controlling and preventing the pollution released by the establishments. UPPCB also issued CTE and CTO certificates to industries, they categorized the industries into red, orange, green, and white categories for regulation.

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 .
