In the healthcare system, a clinic is a focal point to deliver primary health care and be responsible for the health concerns of people in society. But they produce different types of waste products, gasses and toxic substances that are potentially damaging to the environment where they are not well regulated. These environmental risks motivate the clinics to seek a pollution NOC, CTE, and CTO from the state Pollution Control Boards. They guarantee environmental lawfulness by executing legal undertakings on the sound disposal of waste and measures against pollution and sustainability. This guide provides an overview of these certifications, how to apply, documents needed and clinic compliance requirements.
Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) are necessary environmental sanctions from the Pollution Control Board for clinics to run environmentally friendly facilities. CTE is obtained before opening a clinic to ensure that the proposed site & operations are free from violation of pollution control standards. CTO is mandatory after establishment, thus allowing the clinic to practice business while discharging its biomedical wastes, air emissions and wastewater responsibly. NOC means approval for the commencement of the clinic as well as its establishment without polluting the environment. It is necessary for any clinics to receive these certifications to have proper environmental compliance, avoid penalties, including legal ones, and operate stably and responsibly.
The Pollution Control Board Sanity that confirms ‘No Objection Certificate, Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate’ is mandatory for the legal and sustainable functioning of the Clinics. Here’s why they are important:
The registration process to get pollution NOC for a Clinic guarantees that all the legislation regarding pollution will be followed. Here is the Step-by-step procedure:
Gather the required documents including the application form, site plan, project report, land ownership/title documents, lease documents and environmental clearance certificates.
Complete and enclose the application to the respective SPCB or PCC, supplemented by documents and consent fee.
The SPCB or PCC will visit the Clinic to inspect and confirm the compliance of the Clinic with the environment policy on pollution control.
The authorities will study the documents submitted as well as the report of the inspection carried out. If the Clinic follows the environmental norms, a Pollution NOC will be granted.
Under the NOC, it is compulsory for the Clinic to observe the laid-down pollution control measures. The SPCB could perform any written implementing procedures on an occasional basis to verify ongoing adherence.
To obtain a Pollution No Objection Certificate (NOC) for a Clinic, several documents are required to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

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 .
