Overview

In India, pollution control certificates are issued under the provisions of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, and the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. These acts were enacted by the Indian government to regulate and control pollution levels in the country. The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, of 1974, was enacted to prevent and control water pollution in India. It empowers the State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) to issue pollution control certificates to industries and other establishments that discharge pollutants into water bodies. The Act also sets water quality standards and requires industries to treat their wastewater before discharging it into the environment.
