(2) The fee for the amendment of a license shall be one thousand Rupees-plus the amount (if any), by which the fee that would have been payable if the license had originally been issued in the amended form exceeds the fee originally paid for the license.

(3) The application for the amendment of license and Plan shall be submitted online or otherwise at least 15 days before such amendment:

Provided that any such factory shall not be deemed to be extended within the meaning of this Rule by reason only of the replacement of any plant or machinery or within such limits as may be, of the addition of any plant or machinery if such replacement or the addition does not reduce the minimum clear space required for safe working around the machinery or plant:

Provided further that if any amendment adversely affects the environmental conditions from the evolution or emission of steam, heat, dust or fumes which are injurious to health, such amendment shall require prior approval as per the Rule.
