As per the 2021-22 agenda of the Ministry of Coal, the proposal to surrender the mine will be reviewed by the Screening Committee under the proposed plan.

Thereafter the coal blocks will be allowed to be returned without financial penalty.

Agenda 2021-22 prepared by the Ministry of Coal said a plan is being prepared to increase production and ease of doing business from the allotted coal block.

Under which those allottees will be allowed to surrender the blocks, who are unable to surrender their blocks due to technical reasons, are not in a position to develop.

Blocks returned under this scheme will be immediately offered for auction to commercial mining. Due to this, production will be started immediately from there.
