The Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB) was formed under section 4 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 on 7th February 1975 with the main motive of controlling, preventing, and reducing Air Pollution under the norms of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. The Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977 was implemented to make the board financially independent. RSPCB has the power to collect Cess depending on the water consumed by the industries.
The Rajasthan Pollution Board has 13 authorised labs for testing samples and 15 regional offices spread all over the state. It provides Consent Noc and its renewal to industries falling into red, orange, and green categories.

The Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board, or RSPCB, was established with the intention of preventing and controlling pollution of the air and water. The board is financially autonomous because of the 1977 passage of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, which gives the state board the authority to collect Cess based on the amount of water consumed by various industries. The Environment Protection Act, 1986, was passed, greatly expanding the Board's purview. This Act behaves as an umbrella law. Many rules come under this to handle various industries issues.
The following are the objectives of RSPCB registration:
Without the board's prior approval, no one is permitted to establish or run any kind of industrial plant, operation, process, treatment, or disposal system. Only one location will receive site-specific CTE orders from the board. All this is mentioned under Section 25 of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and Section 21 of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. As a result, in order to conduct an inspection at the project site, the representative must go with the inspector.
In accordance with the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981 section 21 and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974 sections 25 and 26, and its amendments, industries must first obtain the Rajasthan Pollution Control Board's (RSPCB) Consent to Operate (CTO) before operating their units. The entity that owns the firm, undertaking, or sector must upload the required paperwork and money, including the CTO application
The state board grants permission to operate for a period of 5, 10, and 15 years, for the red, orange, and green categories respectively.
The state board will grant permission to establish for a duration of 3 to 5 years, and if the project needs an extension in the period of validity, they must request it four months before the consent to establish expires and provide justification.
To obtain Consent Certificates (Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO)) from the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB), the following documents are generally required:
The registration process can be broken down into the following steps:
The applicant needs to pay the required amount and submit an online application for consent through the board's MIS page. Documents that are duly certified must be uploaded in accordance with the RSPCB's checklist.
After submission, the application and the documents attached are examined closely by both CTE and CTO, depending on the application stage.
If the board is pleased with the application, a site inspection is planned. After visiting the location, the inspecting officer writes the inspection report. A field inspection is conducted when a manufacturer is filing a certificate to operate.
Decisions about approval or rejection will be made within the stipulated time, provided that a complete application and an acceptable inspection report are submitted. the applicant will be notified to download the CTO from the website once it is issued online.
Conclusion
In conclusion, CPCB guidelines are established to prevent and control the pollution, and to ensure that these guidelines are followed in each state, state boards have been formed and RSPCB is also part of it. Following its obligation, RSPCB ensures to protect the environment by controlling and preventing the pollution released by the establishments. RSPCB also issues CTE and CTO certificates to industries. They categorized the industries into red, orange, green, and white categories for regulation. They provide advice to the state government on pollution prevention and control measures. So if you want to have smooth operations, industries need to obtain clearances from RSPCB.

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB) is responsible for controlling, monitoring, and preventing pollution levels in the state and also gives advice to the state government on controlling pollution.
RSPCB issues the certificate document to the industrial unit that has been granted consent to establish and operate and registration is a process of registering an industrial unit with the RSPCB. This is a mandatory registration for all industrial units in Rajasthan.
RSPCB has categorised its industrial activities into four categories, A, B, C, and H. Category A industries have the lowest potential for causing environmental pollution, while H industries are considered to have the highest potential for causing environmental pollution.
H-category is a category used by RSPCB to classify industries on their pollution potential. H-category industries are considered to have a high potential for causing environmental pollution and require stringent monitoring and control measures.

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 .
