A Parliamentary panel has recommended removal of the provision of 26 per cent profit sharing by coal and lignite miners with project-affected people and replacing it with a system based on royalty payments by the firms concerned.
The amendment was proposed by the Coal Ministry to the Standing Committee, headed by Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee.
