Lok Sabha passes bill to amend mines and minerals law without debate

The Lok Sabha passed a bill to amend mining regulations. This legislation prevents states from imposing additional taxes on mineral rights. It also shifts control of mineral-bearing lands to the central government. The bill aims for greater fiscal certainty and national economic growth. Existing state taxes not yet recovered will be deemed invalid.
