The Telangana Mineral Bearing Lands (Infrastructure) Cess Act, 2005

Tax20059 sections

The Telangana Mineral Bearing Lands Infrastructure Cess Act of 2005 regulates the levying and collection of a tax, known as a cess, on mineral produce extracted within the state of Telangana. This law applies to leaseholders and license holders of mining or quarrying lands who must pay this tax in advance before transporting any mineral products from the site. It matters because it allows the state government to generate essential revenue from the extraction of public natural resources, which helps fund community infrastructure development and ensures that commercial mining activities directly contribute to the region's local public infrastructure and welfare.
