Overview of Consent for Establishment (CFE) from SPCB

Consent for Establishment (CFE), also known as Consent to Establish (CTE), is a crucial NOC that regulates the release of air emissions, wastewater, and noise levels from industries. It is mandatory for businesses, projects, and units that can potentially pollute the environment.

The State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Pollution Control Committee (PCC) issues the NOC into three categories – red, orange, and green. While some states maintain a list of white or exempted category, an application informing the board is still required. Entrepreneurs must apply for CFE before setting up their unit with all relevant documents. They will need a final Consent to Operate (CTO) after the construction and setup of the unit to commence operations. SPCB/PCC have been empowered under the Water and Air Act to regulate such establishments in their jurisdiction.

FAQ's Consent for Establishment (CFE) from SPCB :-

A request for the PPCC’s consent under Subsection (1) must be prepared in accordance with Subsection 2 of Section 25 of the aforementioned Act, and it must include the required information and fees.
The amount of the consent fee, also known as the CTE charge, which the establishment is expected to pay, will largely rely on the capital investment in the land. Plant and machinery, excluding capital investments in pollution control equipment (and without taking into account depreciation). Fees may be paid for a minimum of one year and a maximum of five years.
The management of all related activities, such as the consent application form, the collection of consent fees, site inspections, and the issuance of Consent to Establish (CTE) from SPCBs concerned, is the responsibility of the respective State Pollution Control Boards or Pollution Control Committees, even though the Central Pollution Control Board coordinates between all SPCBs and PCCs.
Industries, even conventional effluent treatment plants (CETP), generate trash and sludge that must be properly disposed of in order to protect the environment. Each water treatment facility must therefore obtain a Consent NOC from the State Pollution Control Board of the state in question.

I have recently registered a Private Limited firm and was looking for a CA to take care of the filings, Startup India Certificate, and other formalities. I have received emails from legal Suvidha and a few others. I tried talking to them all. But, Mr. Mayank from Legal Suvidha was very impressive and was patient enough, prompt to answer all the queries. He has a very professional team and after the initial formalities, I started interacting with the team. It's not even 2 weeks but I really feel overwhelmed by their service and professionalism. I received my startup India certificate yesterday and my filings have been done promptly. The team at legal suvidha Ms. Nidhi, Ms. Priyanka, Ms. Koshika, and Ms. Saloni all show the same professionalism and are readily available to take care of the official filings and stuff. Overall a great experience till now and looking forward to a great journey!
