The  DMFs  are  being funded through statutory contributions of 30% of royalty by miners who were granted mining leases before MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 and 10% of royalty by miners who were granted mining leases after MMDR Amendment Act, 2015. Pradhan Mantri Khanij  Kshetra  Kalyan  Yojana  (PMKKKY)  is  being  implemented  through  fund collected  under  DMFs  for  welfare  and  development  of  mining  affected  areas  and people.

Ministry of Mines has issued guidelines for the effective and efficient implementation of  PMKKKY  on  16.09.2015.  All  21  major  mineral  rich  States  have  framed  DMF Rules.
