Q131: Which of the following statements regarding the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) notifications in the context of MSMEs is INCORRECT?
✅ Correct Answer: C
Environmental Clearance (EC) is not centralized for everyone.
Category A projects require EC from the Central Ministry (MoEFCC), while Category B projects require EC from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA). Furthermore, many Micro and Small units, especially those in the White Category (Pollution Index up to 20), do not require EC at all; they only need to submit a simple online intimation and are exempt from obtaining Consent to Operate (CTO).
