Introduction: If you're a business owner or industry operator in Rajasthan, navigating the intricacies of pollution control regulations is essential. But what happens when you accidentally overpay your pollution control fees? Thankfully, the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB) has a procedure in place for refunding excess fees. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps to determine if you're eligible for a refund and how to claim it.
Understanding the Process: When applying for consent or authorization, it's not uncommon for applicants to deposit more fees than necessary. The RSPCB acknowledges this and has established a system for refunding excess fees. Whether you operate within the purview of a regional office or the head office, the process remains the same.
Steps for Refund:
Submit an Application: To initiate the refund process, you'll need to submit an application to the State Board with all relevant details.
Processing by Regional Office: The concerned regional office will process your case, ensuring all supporting documents are in order and provide clear recommendations.
Technical/Scientific Group Review: Your case will be reviewed by the relevant technical/scientific group, either at the head office or regional level, depending on the jurisdiction. They will then forward it to the appropriate competent authority for a decision on the refund.
Approval and Sanction: Upon approval from the competent authority, a sanction order for the refund will be prepared in the prescribed format.
Refund Instrument Preparation: The Accounts section will prepare the refund instrument and send it to the respective regional office or group. Online transfers will be handled by the Accounts section directly.
Record Keeping: Both the technical group and the Accounts section will maintain records of the refund process for future reference.
