Concerned over the large amount of dues that need to be recovered by all coal PSUs, Standing committee on Coal and Steel has asked the government as well as the state-owned firms in the sector to take steps for the recovery. The committee highlighted that the large amount of outstanding dues of all coal PSUs such as CIL, SCCL and NLC standing at Rs 11,032.20 crore, Rs 2,441.32 crore and Rs 272.04 crore (including disputed dues of Rs 129.09 crore) respectively as on 31.3.2015 remain unrealized from concerned ministries/parties.
The committee further noted that in Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC), to encourage early realisation, a special scheme called Graded Rebate Scheme has been put in place. The Scheme provides for graded rebate from a maximum of 2 per cent for payment on date of billing to 0 per cent on the 60th day of billing has been put in place along with a onetime waiver of 50 per cent of settlement incorporating a payment priority clause.
According to the government, the committee said that slew of steps are being taken for regular follow up to realise outstanding dues with concerned ministries. The steps include review of party-wise outstandings by general manager/CMDS and Chairman, Coal India (CIL) with the Chairman of defaulting power houses which are then taken upto the level of Chief Secretary of concerned States.
