In order to curb irregularities in the mining sector, the section 23C of the MMDR Act, 1957 empowers states to frame appropriate rules. The Centre asked states to introduce rules under this section to prevent illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals. The Act provides a penalty of imprisonment for a term up to two years or a fine extending to Rs 25,000 or both for firms indulging in illegal mining and causing a loss of revenue to the state government from royalty, rents or taxes.
