"Mineral Resources, Mineral Policy, Mines and Minerals Act

Does the term 'Mineral concession held by a person' mean 'Right to mining activity'?

Mines and Minerals Bill, 2011 was in terms with National Mineral Policy, 2008, which in turn was based on recommendations of a High Level Committee (HLC) constituted in 2006. Most of the provisions were same. So why policy in 2008 & Act in 2011? Why not directly introduce the act with provisions?

What exactly is the difference between a Policy and an Act besides that Policy does not have a statutory backing, so one can't go to court for the same?

What is the difference between announcing a policy and accepting recommendations of a committee in regards to legislating an Act?

When political parties announce their programmes, it is called their manifesto

When they form government they convert those programmes as policies.

If the issue is complex, they create committees to study and come up with ways to realize them into policies.

Once committee submits its recommendations, they are announced as policies and to give them a legal status, it is legislated in the Parliament. Once the parliament passes it as an Act, it becomes the law and has statutory effect.

Sir the committees you have mentioned consist of Parliamentary standing committees too?
Parliamentary standing committees study the bills proposed by the government and come out with changes, alterations and recommendations to the bill which the government can accept and submit it for the parliament to pass
GST is the amalgamation of all indirect taxes namely Central Excise Duty, Service Tax, levied by Union Govt n Octrai, Commercial Tax, Vat etc by State government. The concept of GST is to ensure cascading effect of tax paid in the inputs used in the processing of goods n services. If the tax paid on the inputs r offset on the final product by capturing it in the documents, then the final product r service would be free of double taxation.
High level committee or expert committee are all outside the parliament, appointed by the government to analyze the issue and give it a formal bill for submission to the parliament
Members of parliamentary committees are MPs

 The actualization of monetary values happens when consumer pays for the product. Would GST use credit policy in this regards.
It is to the reduce the cost of service n goods. The credit based system is already there in Indirect tax of the Union levies since 1985 n it is very successful. In state the same was introduced from VAT days.
Yes it uses credit system. I think u r meaning the use of tax paid on the intermediate service r products by all the users n the impact on the final product, isn't?
The system is already working since 1985 in the form on CENVAT credit rules in Central Duty n Service Tax. It takes care of the duty paid on the inputs in adjusting the final duty by giving credit of the input r input services.
Was unable to get clarity on this policy viz GST. If this was not the case GST would further aggravate in terms of double taxation and complexity.
we r trying to integrate the state n Union taxation as it is not integrated. Presently u can't avail credit of state tax on union levy n vice versa. Sotheby's present move is to do that
The history of India's family welfare program teaches us that while the state can do a lot to try and create conditions for, demographic change, most demographic variables are ultimately matters of economic, social and cultural change. Critically analyze.
It is true that demographic change depends on economic, social and cultural changes

A states progress depends upon the education levels. Since India is still illiterate, we hv so many other factors playing in to this aspect
