CONSUMERS’ PAGE 1. Request for allowing temporary change in mode of coal supply from Road to Rail for the willing consumers of CIL due to resurgence of COVID-19 cases:
lower turnout of vehicles and scarce workforce.
Transportation of coal by Road mode have been severely affected since Match’21 as Transport vehicles, truck drivers, helpers and workforce required for loading and unloading of coal are hardly available to execute the operations due to the resurgence of pandemic and pocketed lockdowns imposed by different state governments.
Considering the situation, CIL has provided extension in lifting period and date of payment deposition of coal value till 15th June 2021 so far.
Request has been made to CIL to allow temporary change of supply mode for coal transportation from Road to Rail for the willing consumers (both FSAs and e- Auctions) for their Monthly Scheduled Quantity from April to September 2021.
Request has been made to CIL to extend the lifting period and payment of coal value for the RDOs ending in April & May’21 till June end (30.06.2021) for both Power and NRS consumers against FSA and eAuction quantities.
3. Submission for refunding of Evacuation Facility Charges (EFC) in case of despatches through rapid loading arrangements:
2. Request for providing extension of timeline for lifting of coal and date of payment for deposition of coal value under various RDOs:
It has been pointed out consumers that they have to remit Evacuation Facility Charges at the standard rate of Rs. 50 per tonne along with the coal value while receiving despatches from SECL's Junadih sidings through Silo loading, which is a form of rapid loading. However, as per CIL notification dated 19th December 2017, Evacuation Facility Charges (EFC) are not applicable for coal despatches through rapid loading arrangements.
Coal transportation through Road mode has become extremely difficult since the upsurge in Covid-19 infections, as transporters and operators and coal handling workers are getting infected in large numbers causing
Request has been made to SECL to ensure that the amount remitted by consumers in terms of EFC may kindly be refunded at the earliest in case of despatches through rapid loading arrangements..
