CPCB Red Category Steel Plant CTO Annual Renewal Cost Reconciliation

A Tier-1 Indian integrated steel producer operating a 6.3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) integrated steel plant in the Vizag coastal-steel corridor of Andhra Pradesh — coke oven battery plus sinter plant plus blast furnace plus basic oxygen furnace (BOF) plus rolling mill plus captive power — sits under the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Red category classification for integrated iron and steel manufacturing and must run an annual Consent to Operate (CTO) renewal cycle under Section 25 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974 and Section 21 of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981, administered by the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (AP-PCB). The annual renewal cost package — the AP-PCB renewal fee at the above-5-MTPA capacity band (illustrative Rs 15 lakh), the Coke Oven Emission Standard documentation compilation via internal environment team plus external accredited audit (illustrative Rs 6 lakh), and the eight-sub-report emission monitoring documentation package via NABL-accredited environmental consultancy covering CAAQMS 8-station AAQ, CEMS data across 10 stacks, water balance plus Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) report, waste inventory, slag utilisation cross-report to cement customers (PSC blending under IS 455), noise and hazardous-waste ledger (illustrative Rs 8 lakh) — accumulates to an illustrative Rs 29 lakh per year and books as Section 37 of the Income-tax Act 1961 wholly-and-exclusively revenue expenditure in the plant operating expense ledger. The reconciliation discipline that turns the annual renewal cost package into a defensible P&L classification, holds the CTO expiry date register with the 60-day pre-expiry alert as a standing control and threads the AP-PCB fee payment plus Coke Oven Emission Standard documentation submission plus State PCB inspection preparation into the plant environmental compliance calendar is the subject of this CPCB Red category steel plant CTO annual renewal cost walkthrough.

Quick reference

The reconciliation in one paragraph

An integrated iron and steel plant classified CPCB Red category runs an annual CTO renewal cycle under two parallel statutes — Section 25 of the Water Act 1974 and Section 21 of the Air Act 1981 — and must file the renewal application 60 to 120 days before the current CTO expiry date at the State Pollution Control Board (AP-PCB for Andhra Pradesh, MPCB for Maharashtra, KSPCB for Karnataka, OSPCB for Odisha, JSPCB for Jharkhand, CGPCB for Chhattisgarh, WBPCB for West Bengal, GPCB for Gujarat). The renewal application carries an eight-sub-report emission monitoring documentation package (Ambient Air Quality report from the 8-station perimeter network, stack emission monitoring data via CEMS across 10 stacks including the coke oven main and coke oven pushing stacks, water balance, Effluent Treatment Plant performance, waste inventory, slag utilisation cross-report to cement customers, noise level and Form V Environmental Statement under Rule 14) plus the steel-specific Coke Oven Emission Standard annexure (battery-wise emission characterisation and compliance audit) plus the SPCB renewal fee at the applicable capacity-band schedule. The core reconciliation surface is a plant-level annual CTO renewal cost register keyed on the CTO expiry date, holding the SPCB fee payment, the external NABL-accredited consultancy invoice, the Coke Oven Emission Standard audit cost, the internal environment team allocable salary component, the third-party environmental audit cost and the CEMS/CAAQMS data-transmission fee — each tagged as Section 37 wholly-and-exclusively revenue expenditure at the point of booking. The CTO expiry date register triggers a 150-day pre-expiry document-preparation alert, a 60-day pre-expiry filing alert and a filing-date confirmation entry. The renewed CTO issue date closes the current cycle and opens the next annual calendar entry, with any tightened Coke Oven Emission Standard limits or fresh monitoring conditions imposed by the State PCB captured in the plant environmental register and cross-referenced against the blast furnace campaign schedule and the coke oven battery push cycle to flag any production shift or scheduled maintenance falling outside the current CTO validity period.

What the scenario looks like in India — an illustrative 6.3 MTPA integrated steel plant persona

The illustrative persona for this walkthrough is a Tier-1 Indian integrated steel producer operating a 6.3 MTPA integrated steel plant in the Vizag coastal-steel corridor of Andhra Pradesh (safe illustrative context: the RINL Vizag Steel plant operating under the Rashtriya Ispat Nigam PSU banner on the Andhra Pradesh coast). The plant runs a fully integrated set-up — coke oven battery (multiple batteries, several hundred ovens per battery), sinter plant, blast furnace, basic oxygen furnace (BOF), continuous caster, hot strip mill, plate mill and structural mill, plus a captive power plant on blast furnace gas plus coke oven gas plus coal fuel mix and the captive raw water, wastewater treatment and Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) footprint. The cost mechanic documented here applies at every one of the Tier-1 and Tier-2 Indian integrated steel plants operating under the CPCB Red-category regime — the mechanic scales up or down by capacity band and state PCB but the sub-report structure and the Coke Oven Emission Standard annexure discipline stay constant.

Illustrative Tier-1 and Tier-2 Indian integrated steel producers running the same Red-category CTO renewal mechanic at their integrated plants across the major steel-producing belts include Tata Steel (Jamshedpur Jharkhand and Kalinganagar Odisha integrated plants), Steel Authority of India (SAIL — Bhilai Chhattisgarh, Bokaro Jharkhand, Rourkela Odisha, Durgapur West Bengal and IISCO Burnpur integrated plants), JSW Steel (Vijayanagar Karnataka Bellary-Hospet belt, Dolvi Maharashtra, Salem Tamil Nadu and Jajpur Odisha), Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL — Angul Odisha and Raigarh Chhattisgarh integrated plants), Rashtriya Ispat Nigam (RINL / Vizag Steel — Andhra Pradesh coastal PSU integrated plant), ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AMNS — Hazira Gujarat integrated plant), Jindal Stainless (Jajpur Odisha specialty stainless plant), Kalyani Steel (Bharat Forge Group — specialty steel), Sunflag Iron and Steel (Bhandara Maharashtra specialty plant), Mukand Ltd and Bhushan Power and Steel (BPSL under JSW — Sambalpur Odisha). Every one of these plants runs the annual CTO renewal cycle at the respective State Pollution Control Board — Tata Steel Jamshedpur under JSPCB and Kalinganagar under OSPCB, SAIL Bhilai under CGPCB and Bokaro under JSPCB, JSW Vijayanagar under KSPCB and Dolvi under MPCB, JSPL Angul and Raigarh under OSPCB and CGPCB respectively, RINL Vizag under AP-PCB, AMNS Hazira under GPCB — and the reconciliation discipline documented here is the standing operational-compliance mechanic at every one of the ~30 large-format integrated steel plants operating across India.

The regulatory overlay — Water Act, Air Act, EP Act Section 15, CPCB Red category with Coke Oven Emission Standard and Section 37

Four regulatory anchors govern the annual CTO renewal cost accounting for a Red-category integrated steel plant. The Water Act 1974 and the Air Act 1981 are the parallel statutes empowering the State Pollution Control Board to issue and renew the composite Consent to Operate. Section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 is the general umbrella penalty statute for environmental non-compliance sitting above the specific Water Act and Air Act penalties. The CPCB colour-category directions classify integrated iron and steel manufacturing in the Red category with the annual renewal cadence plus the additional Coke Oven Emission Standard obligation. Section 37 of the Income-tax Act 1961 is the revenue-expense anchor for the annual renewal cost package.

Section 25 of the Water Act 1974 requires the previous consent of the State Pollution Control Board for establishing any industry, operation or process or any treatment and disposal system that is likely to discharge sewage or trade effluent into a stream, well, sewer or land — the Consent to Establish (CTE). Section 27 continues the same requirement in the operational phase — the Consent to Operate (CTO) — with renewal cycles set by the State Pollution Control Board per the CPCB colour-category directions. Section 44 prescribes penalty for contravention of Section 25 or Section 26 — imprisonment for a term not less than one year and six months but which may extend to six years and with fine. Continuing non-compliance attracts enhanced penalty under Section 45A. Section 21 of the Air Act 1981 replicates the framework for emissions to the ambient air. Section 22 prohibits emission of any air pollutant in excess of the standards prescribed under Section 17. Section 37 of the Air Act provides penalty for failure to comply with Section 21 — imprisonment not less than one year and six months and continuing contravention attracting an additional fine of Rs 5,000 per day. Section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 sits above both the Water Act and the Air Act penalties as the general umbrella — imprisonment up to five years or fine up to Rs 1 lakh (or both), plus a Rs 5,000 daily continuing fine after conviction, and imprisonment up to seven years if the failure continues beyond one year after the first conviction. A steel plant operating without a valid CTO therefore faces concurrent exposure under all three provisions plus the closure notice risk under Section 5 of the EP Act 1986.

The CPCB colour-category directions classify industry into Red (highest polluting — pollution index score of 60 and above, annual CTO renewal), Orange (three-year renewal), Green (five-year renewal) and White (no CTO required). Integrated iron and steel plants are classified Red with pollution index score in the 88-93 range — higher than integrated cement plants (84-90) on account of the coke oven battery plus sinter plant emission stack count, the fugitive emissions from the coke oven pushing operation, the SO2 and NOx from the coke oven and sinter plant and the thermal emissions across the process chain. The Red category classification triggers three standing operational compliance obligations — annual CTO renewal, continuous monitoring under CAAQMS and CEMS with real-time data to the CPCB and SPCB portals (typically 8 to 12 CEMS stacks for an integrated steel plant against 4 to 6 for a cement plant), and the annual Form V Environmental Statement under Rule 14 of the Environment (Protection) Rules 1986 due 30 September for the financial year ending 31 March. The steel-specific additional layer is the CPCB Coke Oven Emission Standard — tighter emission limits at the coke oven main stack, the coke oven pushing stack and the coke oven quenching operation than the generic Red-category PM, SO2 and NOx limits, plus a battery-wise emission characterisation obligation as an annexure to the standard CTO renewal package. Every State Pollution Control Board — AP-PCB, MPCB, KSPCB, OSPCB, JSPCB, CGPCB, WBPCB, GPCB — administers the same Red-category regime with its own fee schedule and advance-filing window.

Section 37(1) of the Income-tax Act 1961 allows deduction of any expenditure (not being expenditure of the nature described in Sections 30 to 36 and not being in the nature of capital expenditure or personal expenses of the assessee) laid out or expended wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the business or profession. The annual CTO renewal fee, the external consultancy cost for the emission monitoring report compilation, the Coke Oven Emission Standard compliance audit and battery-wise characterisation cost, the internal environment team allocable salary component, the third-party environmental audit under Rule 14, the CEMS and CAAQMS data-transmission fees and the ongoing ambient-air and stack-emission monitoring costs during the operational phase of a Red-category integrated steel plant are all wholly-and-exclusively laid out for the purposes of the iron and steel manufacturing business, are revenue in nature (annual recurring operational compliance, not creating a new intangible right beyond the one-year CTO validity), and are fully deductible under Section 37(1) in the previous year of incurrence. This treatment is distinct from the pre-operative CTE preparation cost package which sits under Ind AS 38 as an identifiable intangible asset capitalised until commercial commissioning — the pre-operative capitalisation-versus-post-CTO-expense boundary is walked in detail in the cement plant CTE and CTO MoEFCC Category A EIA cost accounting India cornerstone which is the closest cross-cluster structural analogue for the steel equivalent, and the CPCB Red category cement plant CTO annual renewal cost reconciliation sibling for the same annual-renewal mechanic at a Red-category cement plant with a lower pollution index and no Coke Oven Emission Standard overlay.

A worked example — a 6.3 MTPA integrated steel plant, FY 2026-27 CTO renewal at AP-PCB

Illustrative — the following figures represent the operating pattern of a Tier-1 Indian integrated steel producer operating a 6.3 MTPA integrated steel plant in the Vizag coastal-steel corridor of Andhra Pradesh running its FY 2026-27 CTO renewal at the AP-PCB. Public disclosures by listed Indian integrated steel majors do not reveal per-plant per-year CTO renewal cost quantum in the granularity below; cross-verify against your own plant environmental register and the CFO’s Section 37 revenue-expense classification policy before action.

The illustrative plant’s current CTO expiry date is 30 June 2027. The plant HSE lead triggers the 150-day pre-expiry document-preparation alert on 31 January 2027 and engages the external NABL-accredited environmental consultancy for the eight-sub-report emission monitoring documentation package plus a separate internal-plus-external track for the Coke Oven Emission Standard battery-wise characterisation and compliance audit. The renewal application is filed on 1 May 2027 (60 days before the 30 June 2027 CTO expiry — AP-PCB advance-filing window). The AP-PCB renewal inspection is scheduled for 20 May 2027. The renewed CTO is issued on 25 August 2027 with validity 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2028 (the CTO retro-validates from the previous CTO expiry and forward for one year, so there is no operational lapse).

The FY 2026-27 CTO renewal cost register captures the following per-stage cost accumulation:

The Rs 29 lakh total is a plain-vanilla P&L charge in FY 2026-27 under Section 37(1) with full deductibility — no Ind AS 38 intangible-asset treatment, no Ind AS 16 PP&E loading, no Section 35D preliminary-expenses claim (Section 35D covers only pre-commencement or pre-expansion feasibility and drafting costs, not routine operational renewal). The Rs 15 lakh AP-PCB fee payment is reconciled against the AP-PCB acknowledgement receipt and the challan number in the plant environmental register. The external consultancy invoices are reconciled against the emission monitoring documentation register with per-sub-report traceability across the 8 standard sub-reports plus the Coke Oven Emission Standard annexure. The internal HSE salary allocation is booked via a cost-centre transfer from the plant HSE payroll to the CTO renewal cost centre. The slag utilisation cross-report to cement customers threads back into the slag from steel mill to cement blending PSC inter-industry supply reconciliation mechanic — the same slag utilisation quantum drives both the customer-facing GST and dispatch reconciliation and the internal environmental reporting sub-report. Every cost line carries a Section 37 wholly-and-exclusively revenue-expense flag and is aggregated at year-end for the plant CFO’s tax-deduction schedule.

The renewed CTO issued on 25 August 2027 carries validity 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2028 and includes any tightened emission limits or fresh monitoring conditions imposed by the AP-PCB — say, a tightened SO2 limit at the coke oven main stack driven by a fresh CPCB Coke Oven Emission Standard direction, or a new fugitive emission monitoring station requirement at the coal-and-coke handling yard, or a revised battery-wise characterisation frequency. The plant environmental register captures the renewed CTO validity period, the fresh conditions and the next annual renewal due date (30 June 2028), and the CTO renewal calendar rolls forward with the 150-day pre-expiry document-preparation alert set for 31 January 2028.

Common reconciliation breakages

Five breakages recur across Indian integrated steel producers running the annual CTO renewal cost accounting mechanic for a Red-category integrated steel plant, and each maps to a specific control failure that a statutory auditor reviewing Section 37 revenue-expense classification, a State Pollution Control Board CTO renewal inspection, a CPCB regional office compliance visit or a tax assessing officer under Section 143(3) of the Income-tax Act 1961 will surface.

• Annual CTO renewal fee misclassified as intangible-asset addition or as prepaid expense. The most common accounting failure is treating the annual CTO renewal fee as an intangible-asset addition (on the erroneous view that the CTO is a “right” and therefore capitalisable) or as a prepaid expense amortisable over the 12-month CTO validity period (on the erroneous view that the fee “covers a future period”). Neither treatment is correct. The annual CTO renewal fee is Section 37(1) wholly-and-exclusively revenue expenditure fully deductible in the previous year of incurrence — no capitalisation, no amortisation. The reconciliation discipline books the fee as a plain P&L charge with a Section 37 revenue-expense flag at the point of AP-PCB (or applicable SPCB) fee payment. Terra Insight’s reconciliation playbook for monthly close operations pillar frames the operational discipline that surfaces this misclassification at the monthly close rather than at the statutory audit.

• 60-day pre-expiry alert missed — renewal application filed inside the window or missed altogether, triggering concurrent Water Act, Air Act and EP Act penalty exposure. The AP-PCB advance-filing window for a Red-category integrated steel plant is 60 days before current CTO expiry; MPCB is 120 days, KSPCB and OSPCB are 90 days. A plant that files inside the applicable window (say 30 days before expiry at AP-PCB) is administratively at risk — the State PCB inspector may not be able to schedule the inspection window before the current CTO expires, and the renewed CTO may be issued only after the current CTO has lapsed. During any such lapse period, production is legally not permitted and continuing production triggers concurrent penalty exposure under Section 44 of the Water Act 1974, Section 37 of the Air Act 1981 (Rs 5,000 daily continuing fine) and Section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 (imprisonment up to five years, fine up to Rs 1 lakh, Rs 5,000 daily continuing fine) plus the closure notice risk under Section 5 of the EP Act 1986. The exposure is materially higher for a steel plant than for other Red-category industries — a blast furnace hot idling cycle carries a several-hundred-crore relighting cost and a coke oven battery cold shutdown risks battery-wall damage. Reconciliation discipline: the CTO expiry date register holds the current CTO expiry date, the 150-day pre-expiry document-preparation alert, the 60-day (or applicable State-specific) pre-expiry filing alert and the renewal-in-flight status; the plant HSE dashboard surfaces the calendar entries with amber-and-red status.

• Coke Oven Emission Standard annexure incomplete — battery-wise characterisation missed at one of the multiple coke oven batteries, or compliance audit not filed alongside the standard renewal package. Integrated steel plants operating multiple coke oven batteries must file battery-wise emission characterisation for every battery — a plant that submits characterisation for only some of the batteries or that omits the compliance audit annexure altogether is treated as a deficient submission by the State PCB and the renewal cycle stalls until the annexure is completed and re-filed. Reconciliation discipline: the emission monitoring documentation register holds a battery-wise line item for every coke oven battery, with the characterisation report reference, the compliance audit reference and the filing date, and the renewal application filing packet is validated against the battery count in the plant master before submission.

• AP-PCB fee payment not reconciled against the acknowledgement receipt — fee posted but application not filed, or application filed without matching challan. The State PCB renewal fee is paid via challan (typically online on the SPCB portal) and the challan number must accompany the renewal application. A plant that posts the fee to the plant expense ledger without matching to the AP-PCB acknowledgement receipt and the renewal application filing reference risks a hanging expense (fee paid, application never filed — SPCB will treat the challan as unallocated) or a misdated application (fee paid on one date, application filed weeks later against a different fee cycle). Reconciliation discipline: the CTO renewal cost register holds the fee amount, the challan number, the challan date, the SPCB acknowledgement receipt reference and the renewal application filing reference against a single reconciled cost line.

• Renewed CTO conditions not captured — new Coke Oven Emission Standard limit or monitoring station requirement missed, blast furnace campaign schedule misaligned with renewed CTO validity period. A renewed CTO frequently carries fresh conditions — a tightened Coke Oven Emission Standard limit at a specific battery, a new fugitive emission monitoring station requirement at the coal-and-coke handling yard, a revised water-balance or ETP reporting cadence, or a specific production-capacity ceiling for the year. A plant that fails to capture the renewed conditions in the plant environmental register, or that runs a blast furnace campaign shift or coke oven battery push cycle outside the renewed CTO validity period, triggers a compliance gap that surfaces at the next inspection or at the annual Form V Environmental Statement filing. Reconciliation discipline: the CTO renewal cycle-close review holds the renewed CTO validity period, the fresh conditions, the next annual renewal due date and the cross-reference of the current CTO validity period against the plant blast furnace campaign schedule, coke oven battery push cycle and scheduled major maintenance windows. Terra Insight’s reconciliation failure mode analysis for India design pillar frames the design-side control that surfaces the fresh-condition capture failure at cycle close rather than at the next inspection.

How a reconciliation platform handles this

A purpose-built steel reconciliation platform ingests every AP-PCB (or applicable SPCB) renewal fee challan, NABL-accredited environmental consultancy invoice, internal HSE cost-centre allocation, Coke Oven Emission Standard compliance audit invoice, third-party environmental audit invoice and CEMS/CAAQMS data-transmission fee against a plant-level annual CTO renewal cost register, tags each entry at capture with the cost stage (SPCB renewal fee / CAAQMS AAQ / CEMS per stack including coke oven main and pushing / Coke Oven Emission Standard battery-wise characterisation and audit / water balance and ETP / waste inventory and slag utilisation cross-report / noise level and Form V compilation / internal HSE salary / third-party audit / CEMS transmission) and the Section 37 wholly-and-exclusively revenue-expense flag, holds the CTO expiry date register with the 150-day pre-expiry document-preparation trigger and the 60-day pre-expiry filing trigger (or applicable State-specific advance-filing window), reconciles the fee payment against the SPCB acknowledgement receipt and the challan number, and closes the renewal cycle at renewed CTO issue with the fresh validity period and any tightened Coke Oven Emission Standard limits or fresh monitoring conditions imposed by the State PCB captured in the plant environmental register. The renewed CTO validity period is cross-referenced against the plant blast furnace campaign schedule, the coke oven battery push cycle and the scheduled major maintenance windows to flag any production shift falling outside the validity period. Post-cycle-close, standing dashboard controls surface the annual Rule 14 Form V Environmental Statement filing status (due 30 September for financial year ending 31 March), the quarterly SPCB and CPCB CMMS reporting status, the slag utilisation cross-report to cement customers under IS 455 PSC blending, the third-party environmental audit status and the CEMS and CAAQMS data-transmission compliance status. Match-rate improvement of 51 to 88 percent on the renewal-fee-to-SPCB-acknowledgement-to-plant-expense-ledger reconciliation, combined with an ISO 27001:2022 posture and Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 aligned data handling for regulator-facing submissions, is what makes the platform an infrastructure investment for a Tier-1 or Tier-2 Indian integrated steel producer running the annual CTO renewal cycle across multiple integrated plants under multiple State Pollution Control Board jurisdictions — rather than a spreadsheet substitute that leaves the pre-expiry alert discipline, the multi-battery Coke Oven Emission Standard sub-report compilation traceability and the renewed-condition capture as manual overheads on a hybrid plant-HSE-plus-corporate-finance team. The commercial pillar for the steel sub-cluster is steel reconciliation software India; the broader authority for the platform is reconciliation software India.

Cross-cluster bridges and where to read next

The annual CTO renewal cost accounting mechanic documented here anchors the operational-phase companion to the Steel Wave 1 environmental compliance cluster. The closest direct analogue is the CPCB Red category cement plant CTO annual renewal cost reconciliation sibling — the same colour-category regime and the same Section 37 revenue-expense mechanic, but at a lower pollution index (84-90 versus 88-93 for integrated steel), without the Coke Oven Emission Standard overlay, with 4-6 CEMS stacks against 8-12 for steel, and at a lower total renewal cost band. The MoEFCC CTE and CTO clearance cost accounting for chemical plant cornerstone from Chemicals Wave 3 documents the parallel Ind AS 38 pre-operative capitalisation and Section 37 post-CTO revenue-expense boundary for a specialty chemistry expansion and is a useful cross-cluster reference for the pre-CTO capitalisation mechanic that sits ahead of the annual-renewal cycle walked here.

The Steel Wave 1 raw-material-side sibling series covers the input-side reconciliation for the same integrated plant — the MMDR Act 1957 iron ore mining lease steel industry cost reconciliation walkthrough on the captive iron ore lease and the iron ore lump vs fines IMF IMR pricing steel plant reconciliation on the IBMI benchmark pricing mechanic. The slag from steel mill to cement blending PSC inter-industry supply reconciliation sibling documents the inverse steel-to-cement supply relationship that the slag utilisation cross-report sub-report in this article threads into — the same slag utilisation quantum drives the customer-facing GST-and-dispatch reconciliation and the internal environmental reporting sub-report. The non-coking coal CIL FSA steel plant TDS Section 194Q reconciliation sibling documents the fuel-side cost mechanic that runs alongside the environmental compliance mechanic walked here. The variance-classification and operational reconciliation methodology framework — mapping each renewal cost line to a reconciliation surface, holding the CTO expiry date register as a standing control, tagging every cost line with the Section 37 wholly-and-exclusively revenue-expense flag and closing the cycle at renewed CTO issue with fresh conditions captured — sits in reconciliation failure mode analysis and reconciliation playbook for monthly close.

The five FAQs below address the operational questions Indian integrated steel CFOs, plant HSE leads, environment consultants and statutory auditors ask most often when building the annual CTO renewal cost register and the CTO expiry date calendar under the four regulatory anchors — the Water Act 1974, the Air Act 1981, the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 Section 15 general umbrella penalty and Section 37 of the Income-tax Act 1961.
