Mineral Transit Pass and e-Permit Portals, State by State
Every mineral-producing state in India runs its own online system for issuing mineral transit passes and tracking dispatch from lease to checkpost. There is no single national portal. A mine operating across state lines files into a different system, under a different name, for each state it dispatches into.
Key facts
- Odisha runs i3MS, the Integrated Mines and Minerals Management System, covering e-permits, port clearance and railway siding movement for major ores.
- Chhattisgarh runs Khanij Online, which ties vehicle registration, weighbridge capture and barrier checkpost validation into one dispatch record.
- Jharkhand runs JIMMS, covering lease workflows, royalty monitoring and GPS-tracked transit for coal and iron ore.
- Maharashtra runs MahaKhanij, Madhya Pradesh runs an e-TP verification platform, and Rajasthan and Karnataka each run a system named IMMS under their Department of Mines and Geology.
- In the south, Tamil Nadu runs MIMAS, Kerala runs KOMPAS, Telangana runs the TGMDC portal, and Andhra Pradesh handles seigniorage billing through the Industries and Mines portal.
- In the north, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana issue e-Rawana transit slips for sand and minor minerals, and Punjab runs the Punjab Mining Management System for auctions and lease compliance.
Mineral Transit Pass and e-Permit Portals, State by State — Capabilities
One dispatch record, whichever portal the state runs
iCeipts captures the weighbridge reading, vehicle, mineral, grade and destination once at the gate, then files it into the portal the state requires. The operator works one screen instead of learning i3MS in Odisha, Khanij Online in Chhattisgarh and JIMMS in Jharkhand separately.
Quantity reconciliation against the permit
Dispatched tonnage is matched against the quantity the permit authorises before the vehicle leaves. Overloading and permit overrun are caught at the gate rather than at a checkpost, where a rejection costs a return trip.
Royalty, DMF and NMET computed on every consignment
Royalty is calculated from the Second Schedule rate for the mineral, with the District Mineral Foundation and National Mineral Exploration Trust contributions derived from it, so the figure filed matches the figure paid.
Multi-state operators file once per state, not once per system
A producer dispatching from leases in more than one state keeps a single production and dispatch ledger. State filing becomes an output of that ledger rather than a parallel manual process for each portal.
Vahan and e-Way Bill validation alongside the state filing
Vehicle registration, fitness and permit status are checked against Vahan, and the e-Way Bill is raised in the same movement, so the statutory pack travels complete with the consignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there one national mining transit pass portal in India?
No. Minor minerals and mineral transport are administered by each state, so every mineral-producing state runs its own system. Odisha uses i3MS, Chhattisgarh uses Khanij Online, Jharkhand uses JIMMS, Maharashtra uses MahaKhanij, Tamil Nadu uses MIMAS and Kerala uses KOMPAS. A producer dispatching across state lines files into each separately.
What does a state mining portal actually do?
It issues the mineral transit pass that must accompany a consignment, records the quantity and grade dispatched against the lease, and gives checkposts a record to validate against. Most also carry royalty computation, lease compliance and mandatory returns.
How does dispatch software connect to a state portal?
The software captures the dispatch event at the weighbridge and gate, then submits the permit request and reconciles the response. iCeipts integrates with the state portals listed on this page for mine production and dispatch, so the transit pass, the weighbridge record and the royalty figure come from one source.
What happens if dispatched quantity exceeds the permit?
The consignment is liable to be stopped and penalised at a checkpost, and the shortfall or overrun has to be reconciled against the lease. Catching the discrepancy at the gate, before the vehicle leaves, is the reason weighbridge capture and permit validation belong in the same step.
