MahaKhanij Integration for Maharashtra Mineral Permits
iCeipts integrates with MahaKhanij for mine production and dispatch. Unlike most state systems that sit under a mines department, MahaKhanij is run by Maharashtra’s Revenue Department through one portal and a companion mobile app, and because sand, murrum and stone dominate the state’s mineral traffic far more than major ore, and Maharashtra borders six other states, interstate transport passes have to be raised correctly on a routine basis, not as an exception.
Key facts
- MahaKhanij sits under Maharashtra’s Revenue Department rather than a dedicated mines department, an administrative arrangement that differs from most other state mineral systems.
- The portal is paired with a mobile app, so permit and transport documentation can be raised and checked from the field rather than only from a desk terminal.
- Minor minerals — sand, murrum and building stone — account for far more of the state’s mineral movement than major ores like coal or iron.
- Maharashtra shares a border with six neighbouring states, so an unusually high share of consignments need an interstate transport pass rather than a purely intrastate one.
- Major-mineral activity is smaller but present: coal comes out of Chandrapur and Nagpur, and iron ore is drawn from Sindhudurg on the state’s southern coast.
MahaKhanij Integration for Maharashtra Mineral Permits — Capabilities
Revenue Department Permit Workflow
Permit requests follow the process MahaKhanij’s Revenue Department administration expects, distinct from the mines-department workflow used in most other states, so filings are formatted for the authority actually reviewing them.
Minor Mineral Consignment Handling
Sand, murrum and stone loads, which make up the bulk of Maharashtra’s mineral traffic, are captured with the grading and measurement conventions those materials use rather than ore-oriented fields borrowed from other states.
Interstate Transport Pass Automation
Because six neighbouring states border Maharashtra, a large share of consignments cross a state line, and the interstate transport pass is raised from the same dispatch entry rather than as a separate manual filing.
Weighbridge-Originated Royalty Computation
Royalty is computed from the gross and tare weight recorded at the weighbridge the moment a vehicle is loaded, so the figure sent to MahaKhanij matches what was physically weighed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MahaKhanij and which department runs it?
MahaKhanij is Maharashtra’s unified mineral administration portal, run by the state Revenue Department rather than a mines department, and it is paired with a mobile app for field use.
Why do interstate transport passes matter so much in Maharashtra?
Maharashtra borders six other states, so consignments cross a state boundary far more often than in a state with fewer neighbours, making the interstate transport pass a routine document rather than a rare one.
Does MahaKhanij mainly cover minor minerals?
Yes, sand, murrum and stone dominate the traffic MahaKhanij administers, though the portal also covers major-mineral activity such as coal from Chandrapur and Nagpur and iron ore from Sindhudurg.
How is royalty calculated for a MahaKhanij dispatch?
iCeipts computes royalty from the weighbridge reading captured at loading, so the figure filed against the permit is derived from an actual weighment rather than an estimate.
