After completion of the construction of the building, theproject proponent may update Form 1A online based on audit done bythe Qualified Building Environment Auditor and shall furnish the revisedcompliance undertaking to the Planning Authority. Any non-complianceissues in buildings less than 20,000 square meters shall be dealt at thelevel of Planning Authority through existing mechanism.

OTHER BUILDINGS CATEGORIES (> 20,000 Square meters)

The project proponent may submit online application in Form 1Aalong with specified fee for environmental appraisal and additional feefor building permission. The fee for environmental appraisal will bedeposited in a separate account. The Environment Cell will process theapplication and present it in the meeting of the Committee headed bythe authority competent to give building permission in that PlanningAuthority. The Committee will appraise the project and stipulate theenvironmental conditions to be integrated in the building permission.After recommendations of the Committee, the building permission andenvironmental clearance will be issued in an integrated format by thePlanning Authority.

The project proponent shall submit Performance Data andCertificate of Continued Compliance of the project for the environmentalconditions parameters applicable after completion of construction fromQualified Building Environment Auditors every five years to theEnvironment Cell with special focus on the following parameters:-


(a) Energy Use (including all energy sources).

(b) Energy generated on site from onsite Renewable energysources.

(c) Water use and waste water generated, treated and reused on site.

(d) Waste Segregated and Treated on site.

(e) Tree plantation and maintenance.

After completion of the project, the Cell shall randomly check theprojects compliance status including the five years audit report.The State Governments may enact the suitable law for imposing penaltiesfor non-compliances of the environmental conditions and parameters.The Cell shall recommend financial penalty, as applicable under relevantState laws for non-compliance of conditions or parameters to the PlanningAuthority. On the basis of the recommendation of the Cell, the PlanningAuthority may impose the penalty under relevant State laws. The casesof false declaration or certification shall be reported to theaccreditation body and to the local body for blacklisting of QualifiedBuilding Environment Auditors and financial penalty on the owner andQualified Building Environment Auditors.

No Consent to Establish and Operate under the Water (Preventionand Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Controlof Pollution) Act, 1981 will be required from the State PollutionControl Boards for residential buildings up to 1,50,000 square meters.";
