It is very beneficial to enact EIA as it can reap both lucrative and environmental benefits.

EIA also gave a direction to the decision-makers of the organization whether they have to proceed with the project or not by representing the best amalgamation of both of the sectors. It runs behind eight principles which are the participation of interested parties, transparency in their behavior, certainty, accountability of their actions, credibility in the part of professionalism, cost-effectiveness, flexibility and practicality.

Under EIA study, projects under category "A" and category "B" will obtain the clearance from MoEF&CC and SEIAA respectively.

The project owner will submit the application form 1, form 1A and Conceptual Plan/ Pre-feasibility report depending on the screening category of the project as per the EIA Notification with the help of an Environment consultant. Then an expert panel will undergo various required investigations under" Terms of Reference."

Then the project owner will submit draft-EIA to the concerned State Pollution Control Board for Public consultation

The state pollution control board then calls for a hearing with the local people and the owner. After that, the final EIA report is prepared to incorporate public hearing proceedings and submitted to MoEF&CC or SEIAA.

Finally, either of the two gives rejection or clearance to the owner.
