Consolidated Consent & Authorisation (CCA) from Pollution Board

Securing CCA/CTO isn’t just a regulatory formality—it’s a strategic step toward lawful, eco-conscious operations that build credibility with stakeholders and foster lasting community trust

Why do industries require a CCA from the Pollution Control Board?

  • Industries operating in UP and Uttarakhand are required to obtain a Consolidated Consent & Authorisation (CCA) from the UP Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) and Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board (UKPCB) under the Water Act, Air Act, Hazardous Waste Management Rules and E-waste management rules.
  • This single-window clearance streamlines multiple permissions—making it essential for legal operations across the state.
  • Whether you’re setting up a new unit or renewing an existing consent, Simplicomp ensures your application is complete, compliant, and positioned for timely approval.

What Is CCA from UKPCB/UPPCB?

The CCA is a combined consent that covers:

  • Water Act, 1974 (Section 25/26)
  • Air Act, 1981 (Section 21)
  • Authorization under Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016
  • Authorization under The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022
  • Instead of managing separate approvals, industries receive one consolidated permit addressing emissions, effluents, hazardous waste, and more.

Who Needs a CCA (Consolidated Consent & Authorisation)?

  • Manufacturing units (textiles, chemicals, pharma, plastics, etc.)
  • Waste treatment or disposal facilities
  • Any industrial operation generating effluents, air emissions, or hazardous waste in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Gujarat

Whether you’re classified as Red, Orange, or Green category, a CCA is mandatory before you start operations—and must be periodically renewed.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions

 In UP, UK and Gujarat the CCA replaces individual CTOs, HW Authorisations and E-waste authorisation with one consolidated approval.

The CPCB classifies industries based on pollution potential. We’ll help you determine your category and application pathway.

Operating without a valid CCA can lead to closure notices, fines, or legal action. Renewal should be initiated at least 120 days before expiry.

Any changes in raw materials, fuel type, production quantity, or pollution load require an amendment application.
