Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate from the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board for factories, workshops, hospitals, hotels and other units.
Under the Water Act, 1974 and the Air Act, 1981, most industries and many service establishments in Rajasthan need the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board's Consent to Establish before construction or installation, and Consent to Operate before production or operations begin. Units are classified as red, orange, green or white by their pollution potential, which decides what is required and how long the consent lasts; white-category units are generally exempt. Fastlegal confirms your category, prepares the application with the process description and pollution-control details, files it online, coordinates the site inspection and obtains the consent.
One fixed professional fee, inclusive of GST, agreed with you before any work starts — no hourly billing, no surprises, and nothing charged until you approve it. Consent fee to the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (based on capital investment and category) and any lab or consultant reports extra, at actuals.
Order online and describe your unit. We confirm its category and which consents and authorisations you need within one working day.
Upload entity, land, layout and investment documents; we prepare the process note and pollution-control details with you.
We file the CTE or CTO application online with the Board, pay the fee from your account, coordinate the site inspection and reply to any queries until the consent is issued.
Download the consent and its conditions from your dashboard. We remind you of renewal and periodic compliance before they fall due.
Consent to Establish is needed before you build or install a unit. Consent to Operate is needed before you start production or operations, and it is checked against the conditions of the CTE. Both are issued by the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board.
No. Units in the white category, which have negligible pollution potential, are generally exempt from consent. Most manufacturing units and many service establishments such as hospitals, hotels above a size, and workshops need it. We confirm the category for your activity first.
The fee depends on the unit's category and its capital investment in land, building and machinery, and is paid to the Board online. We calculate it with you before filing.
Validity depends on the category; red-category units get shorter terms than orange and green units. The Board's consent letter states the expiry date, which we track and remind you about.
Operating without consent is an offence under the Water and Air Acts and can lead to closure directions, disconnection of power and water, and prosecution. It also blocks bank finance and government subsidies, which usually ask for valid consent.
The consent is still issued by the Board, but your RIICO allotment letter serves as land proof and some infrastructure such as common effluent treatment may already be available. We use these to simplify the application.
