Long before the UPA Government came to office in 2004, coal blocks were being allotted under the prevailing law that is the Coal Mines (Nationalisation) Act, 1973. The allotment of coal blocks was only through a mechanism whereby applications were received and scrutinized by an inter-ministerial Screening Committee, which included representatives of the State Governments, where the coal block was situated. The same system was followed by the UPA Government since 2004. The process of inviting applications and their processing was done in a completely transparent manner involving the relevant stakeholders/ Governments. Most importantly, not a single coal block was allotted without the consent of the State Government concerned.
