UPPCB consent for a restaurant or small hotel: why food licensing is only one part of opening

FSSAI registration or licensing does not answer whether a restaurant or hotel in Uttar Pradesh needs pollution consent.

The practical route is to establish the correct classification, submit the required intimation and preserve its acknowledgement and supporting evidence.
