Data on collection by State
Governments on dead rent on minerals, royalty on minor minerals, and other
taxes on mining and minerals like cess, stamp duty, land tax etc. are not
centrally maintained.
The Government set up a Study
Group on 13.9.2011 for review and revision of rates of royalty and dead rent
for major minerals (other than coal, lignite and sand for stowing). The Study
Group submitted its report on 28.6.2013 which is under consideration.
This information was
given by the Minister of Mines, Shri Dinsha Patel in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha.
