conditions (Table-1) along with Form 1A and certification by the
Qualified Building Environment Auditor to be submitted online by the
project proponent besides application for building permission to the
Planning Authority along with the specified fee in separate accounts.
Thereafter, the Planning Authority may issue the building permission
incorporating the environmental conditions in it and allow the project
to start based on the self declaration and certification along with the
application. After completion of the construction of the building, the

The project proponent may submit online application in Form 1A
along with specified fee for environmental appraisal and additional fee
for building permission. The fee for environmental appraisal will be
deposited in a separate account. The Environment Cell will process the
application and present it in the meeting of the Committee headed by
