Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana  (PMKKKY) will be implemented through fund collected under DMFs for welfare and development of mining affected areas and people.  Directions  in  this  regard  have  been  issued  under  section  20A  of  MMDR  Act  on 16.09.2015 to all the States Governments to incorporate the PMKKKY into the rules framed by them for the DMF.

- I. 10% of royalty in respect of mining leases granted on or after 12.1.2015; and
- II. 30% of royalty in respect of mining leases granted before 12.1.2015.
