HOW TO TRANSPORT MINERALS
According to Rule 27(2) (a) of MC Rules 1960, the State Government has to
specify the rate , time limit and mode of payment of royalty. In pursuance of the above
the State Government has issued the order in GO Ms.No. 674, Industries and Commerce,
dated. 27.6.1975 the time limit and mode of payment of royalty for the quantities
intended to be dispatched. In the lease deed executed by the lease holder in the covenent
3 of part of form ‘K’ the rate and mode of payment of royalty has to be specified.
According to the
orders
issued in GO Ms.No. 674, Industries and Commerce
Department dated.27.6.1975 the lessee shall in respect of the quantity of ore or mineral
intended to be transported by him each time from the leased area to a place outside the
said leased area pay the royalty for such quantity at the time of such transport to an
officer authorised in this behalf at the rates specified in the second schedule of the
MM)D&R) Act, 1957. The lessee has to file in an application in form A and obtain
permit from an authorised officer in form ‘D’ in token of having paid the royalty.
Similarly according to rule 34 of APMMC Rules, 1966 in respect of minor
minerals also the quarry lease holders is required to pay the seigniorage fee in advance
and remove the minerals from the leased area. The lease holders shall inrespect of the
quantity of minor minerals intended to be transported by him each time from the quarry
lease area to a place outside the quarry pay seigniorage fee for such quantity at the
time of such transport to an officer authorised in this behalf at the rates specified in
the first schedule to rule 10(1) of APMMC Rules 1966.
According to Mineral Conservation and Development Rules, 1988 every lease
holder has to file a monthly return showing the production dispatches of closing stock
etc., While preparing the assessments the Asst.Director ofMines and Geology will arrive
the quantities removed during the year and cross verify with the production and
dispatch registers maintained at the mine site and also with other departments/Mineral
based industries. Mineral revenue assessments will be prepared and submitted to the
Deputy Director of Mines and Geology once in a year who has been empowered to
approved the assessments upto anamount of Rs. 50.00 lakshs of current royalty. If it is
above Rs. 50.00 laksh the Director of Mines and Geoology is the competent authority for
approval.
ROLE OF TRADERS/DEALERS
Government of India recently amended the provisions of section 23 of Mines and
Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957 duly delegating powers to the State
Government for preventing
illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals.
Accordingly Government have brought out A.P. Mineral Dealer Rules, 2000 to regulate
the possession storage, trading and transportation of minerals and mineral products and
to check evasion of royalty/seigniorage fee, stopping of illegal mining and quarrying
and transportation in the State of Andhra Pradesh and for the purpose connected
therewith. According to these Rules those who are dealing with any minerals for the
purpose of trading or involved in processing of minerals shall register to the Department
of Mines and Geology before the Deputy Director of Mines and Geology in-charge of the
region. They shall furnish the account on the procurement of raw material from
Mines/Quarries periodically and also they will be issued transit passes for transporting
the mineral/finished products from the trading places/processing units. It any processed
mineral is dispatched without possessing transit passes such vehicle in liable for
confiscation by the officers of the Department of Mines and Geology.
ROLE OF PUBLIC IN REALISATION OF TAXES:
Mining Sector is one of the important
revenue generation
to
the States.
Minerals are natural resources which have to be exploited cautiously and consumed
judiciously. If any mineral is removed without sanction of lease as per the rules it
amounts to illegal mining and causes loss of revenue to the State besides depriving the
nation from proper utilization of the resource given by the nature. Therefore, an appeal
from the department to the public in this regards is to ensure that the operations are
conducted within the framework of law and contribute to the developmental activities of
the State.
