The consent certificate from the Punjab Pollution Control Committee is also known as a Pollution Board license or Pollution Department NOC. For the White Category of Business, the Pollution certificate is called the Pollution Board Registration while For the Green and Amber Category of Business activity, the Certificate is called the Punjab Pollution Board Consent. There are 2 types of consent issued by the Punjab Pollution Board. For establishing a business, the Consent to Establish (CTE) certificate is issued, i.e. construction of the factory premises, installation of the machinery etc while after the Consent to Establish (CTE) certificate, the Consent to Operate (CTO) certificate is issued when the business becomes fully operational.

For the white category of business, the validity of the Punjab Pollution Board Registration is 7 years and for the green and amber business category, the validity of the Consent to Establish (CTE) certificate, is generally one year or till the construction of the factory premises and installation of the machinery. For the green category, the validity of the Consent to Operate (CTO) certificate is up to ten years and for the amber category of business activities it is up to five years.

The laboratory testing fee ranges between Rs.5,000 to Rs.10,000 for Boiler, Oil and Grease Trap, Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) or Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).

No business activity can be performed in the residential area as per the Punjab Pollution Board notification.

In an Industrial area, the manufacturing business activities under green and amber categories can only be performed.

Introduction

The Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) was constituted under the Punjab State Government on 3rd February in the year 1975 after the enactment of the Water Act, 1974 to preserve wholesome water to ensure the safety and health of people living in the State and to keep a check on environmental degradation. Then after the enactment of other environmental laws, the responsibility to implement them was also entrusted to the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB).

Punjab State Pollution Control Board is established as a regulatory authority for implementing the various pollution control laws in the state. Uniform environmental laws are adopted by the Punjab State Government that were enacted by the Central Government to control environmental pollution in the State.

The Punjab Government has adopted the following laws to control environmental pollution in its state. The Government of India under the Ministry of Environment & Forest has also framed Rules related management of Hazardous, bio-medical, municipal solid waste, recycled plastic, used batteries, noise pollution, and the Protection of the Ozone layer. All these rules are framed under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, of 1986.

Categories of Industries under Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) Certificate

For ensuring that the business is formed in a manner that is in line with environmental protection, the classification is used. The standards will encourage industrial sectors to embrace cleaner technologies, which will ultimately lead to less pollution being produced. Another advantage of the new classification system is that it makes it easier for businesses to evaluate themselves since past assessments were subjective. The Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) classifies the industries into different colours that include:

Red Category: Heavily Polluted
Orange Category: Moderately Polluted
Green Category: Less Polluted
White Category: Almost not polluted and does not need a NOC
