Ensuring Legal and Environmental Compliance for Your Factory

Setting up and operating a manufacturing unit in India requires adherence to two critical regulations: the Factories Act, 1948, and various environmental laws. At Startup Solicitors, we provide comprehensive services to help you obtain the mandatory Factory License and the necessary No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB).

Our team of experts ensures that your factory complies with all safety, health, and environmental standards, mitigating legal risks and allowing you to focus on your production and growth.

Our Factory & Pollution License Services:

Factory License Registration

We manage the entire process of obtaining a Factory License, from preparing the building plans and stability certificates to submitting the application to the Chief Inspector of Factories.

2

Consent to Establish (CTE)

Before starting construction, we help you secure the Consent to Establish (CTE) from the SPCB by preparing a detailed project report and environmental impact assessment.

Consent to Operate (CTO)

Once the factory is ready, we assist in obtaining the Consent to Operate (CTO) from the SPCB, ensuring your pollution control measures meet the required standards. We also manage CTO renewals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Pollution Control NOC
1. When is a Factory License required?
A Factory License is mandatory for any premises where 10 or more workers are employed with the aid of power, or 20 or more workers without the aid of power, for a manufacturing process.
2. What are the different categories of industries for pollution control?
Industries are typically categorized as Red, Orange, Green, and White based on their pollution index score. The category determines the complexity of the NOC process and the validity period of the consent.
3. What is the validity of the Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO)?
CTE is typically valid for a period of 1 to 5 years, during which the factory must be established. The validity of the CTO varies from state to state and depends on the industry category, usually ranging from 1 to 10 years.
4. What happens if a factory operates without these licenses?
Operating without a valid Factory License or Pollution Control NOC is a serious offense and can lead to heavy penalties, imprisonment for the occupier/directors, and even closure of the factory.
