14.0 VIGILANCE ACTIVITIES
Considering its critical role in ensuring a transparent, fair and efficient functioning of the organization, the
vigilance activities have been truly integrated with the management functions in ECL. The path-breaking
initiatives taken last year to instill a sense of confidence among various stakeholders, resulting in significant
improvement in efficiency, have been taken a step further this year. Frequent surprise inspections have
been conducted and intensive examination of a large number of cases was undertaken laying emphasis
on system improvement measures. Preventive vigilance, however, has continued to be the focus resulting
in significant savings for the company through control of leakages and pilferages in the system. Awareness-
cum-motivation programmes, conducted by Vigilance department for various stakeholders have yielded
rich dividends for the company. Besides, the initiatives taken by Vigilance department for leveraging
technology through introduction of e-procurement, e-payment, discount bidding, CCTV, toll-free helpline
for lodging complaints, Biometric attendance etc. have added immense value to the performance of the
organization.
14.1 Preventive Vigilance:
The number of surprise checks conducted by the Vigilance department has covered almost entire gamut
of activities of the Company. Besides, vigilance awareness-cum-motivation programmes were organized
on a large scale for various stakeholders covering over one thousand beneficiaries. These efforts have had
a salutary effect on the work-culture of the organization resulting in all-round improved performance.

average cycle period of completion of tender process has been reduced to 95.53 days and the minimum
completion period was only 23 days in the current year. It automatically translates into not only tremendous
savings but also reputation and goodwill for the company. Introduction of discount bidding has helped in
considerable cost-cutting in almost all bids. E-payment has been made mandatory which has helped
eliminate the essential human interface used to brew and support corrupt practices. The e-governance
initiatives have made the processes transparent, people-friendly and also reduced the paper work and
associated drudgery to a large extent. Launch of a toll-free helpline by the Vigilance department has been
welcomed by all for getting easy access to ventilate their issues/complaints/grievances.

Annexure-IV
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT - 2014-15
Overview of the Indian economy:
With an estimated GDP of approximately US $4.96 trillion in 2013, on a purchasing power parity basis, India is
one of the largest economies in the world (Source: CIA World Fact Book). India is also one of the fastest growing
economies in the world. Coal is the one of the prime fuels in India and has met approximately 52% of India’s total
energy needs and will continue to be crucial to India’s future energy needs.
Global coal industry and reserves:
The world coal reserves as per the rate of production in 2013 are estimated to suffice on an average for the next
113 years, whereas going by the rate of production of coal in India vis-à-vis its proved reserves such period stands
on an average at 100 years. Although proved coal reserves are widely distributed across the world, 82.8% of the
world’s recoverable reserves are located in five regions: the United States (26.6%), Russian Federation (17.6%),
China (12.8%), Total Europe and Eurasia (other than Russian Federation) (17.2%), and Australia (8.6%) (Source:
BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2014). According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy June
2013, India accounted for 6.8% of the world’s proved reserves.
Global coal production and consumption:
China is the largest producer of coal 3,680.0 million tons (47.4% of the total worldwide production in 2013),
followed by the United States 892.6 million tons (12.9% of the total worldwide production in 2013. Asia is the
biggest market for coal and currently accounts for 70.5% of global coal consumption, owing to China and India,
who are the primary consumers (Source: BP Statistical Review World Energy June 2014).
Indian coal industry and reserves:
As on 01.04.2014, the estimated geological resource of Indian coal was 301.56 billion tons (Source: MOC, GoI).
In India, coal is the prime fuel used in firing thermal power plants due to its availability and affordability. Coal is the
dominant source of energy and met a substantial part, of the total primary energy requirement of India. The coal
sector in India is primarily dominated by the PSUs under the central and the state governments.
OUTLOOK:
Overview of Eastern Coalfields Limited:
Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) a subsidiary of Coal India Limited was incorporated on 1st November 1975 by
taking over 414 mines vested with Eastern Division of Coal Mines Authority Limited (CMAL). It operates in the
states of West Bengal and Jharkhand. ECL is one of the best quality coal producing companies in India. As on
date there are 103 working mines in Eastern Coalfields Ltd., 75 being underground mines, 19 opencast mines and
9 mixed mine.
Strength and weakness:
Competitive Strength:
a. Total geological reserve of 31.32 Billion Tonne of Coal in the state of West Bengal in ECL command area
out of which 13.40 Billion Tonne is in the proven category. ECL has premium grade of coal with average
EASTERN COALFIELDS LIMITED
47
ash content less than 20% at Raniganj Coalfields. This coal can be blended with high ash coal from other
subsidiaries to satisfy MoEF stipulations.
b. Reserves of 18.61 Billion Tonne of Coal down to a depth of 600 metre as on 01.04.2014 (as per GSI) in
Jharkhand where scope for comparatively easy extraction of coal by open cast mining exists.
c. Demand is more than the supply position.
d. Workmen capable of working in difficult conditions.
Weakness:
a. The coal mining in the Raniganj coalfield had started about 150 years back. Hence the company is loaded
with old legacy of small mines, old steam winders working at 50% of its capacity.
b. Difficult geo-mining condition.
c. Dense population impedes acquisition of land.
d. Huge infrastructure built on coal bearing areas hinder open cast mining.
e. Huge pumping and sand stowing cost.
f. Upper water-logged seams impede introduction of Mass Production Technology in lower seams
Opportunities and Threats:
Opportunities:
a. Realisation of better value for coal through e-marketing.
b. Recourse working small OC patches to curb illegal mining.
c. Positive response from Central Trade Unions to issues involving production and productivity.
d. Increasing co-operation from State Governments/local authorities in solving the problems.
Threats:
a. Opposition to acquisition of land by villagers.
b. Opposition to closure of unviable underground mines.
c. Land constraints in introduction of mass production technology in large scale owing to waterlogging of
upper horizon & expansion of OC.
d. Difficulty in better e-marketing of ECL’s coal due to 25% cess charged by the Government of West
Bengal.
Business Strategies:
a. Continue to increase production, productivity and capitalize on the significant demand-supply gap for coalin India.
b. Improve realizations through increased sales of higher quality coal, and e-auction of coal.
c. Enhance profitability and maintain competitiveness by improving operating and cost efficiencies and control.
d. Continue to increase our reserve base by detailed exploration.
e. Continue to focus on developing environmentally and socially sustainable operations.

Our Customers:
Majority of coal produced in ECL is supplied to Thermal Power Plants. In addition coal is also supplied to various
industries that include Steel, Cement, Sponge Iron, Defence & others.
Transportation, Infrastructure and Logistics:
Following the extraction of coal from a mine/working face, coal is transported to despatch points through tipping
trucks and conveyor belts. Coal is delivered to the customers from the dispatch points through rail, road or
dedicated rail MGR system.
All consignments dispatched are weighed either at ECL owned weighbridges available at our dispatch points or to
the nearest weighbridges owned by Railways. Customers may choose the mode of transport between rail and
road. The cost of transportation of coal from the mines to designated dispatch points is borne by ECL provided
such dispatch points are located within three kilometers from the mines. If the dispatch point from our mines is
more than three kilometers but within 20 kilometers, the customers bear such transportation cost at specified
rates as notified by CIL from time to time. In circumstances where the distance from the dispatch point is more
than 20 kilometers from our mines, the customer bears the actual cost of transportation.
Pricing of Coal:
The pricing of Non-Coking Coal is presently based on its Gross Calorific Value and that of Coking Coal & Washery
Grade Coal is set on the basis of ash level content. Pricing of coal for Semi Coking Coal is set on the basis of ash
& moisture content level. The coal price is revised considering the escalation in input cost, inflation and landed
cost of imported coal. The final customer price includes basic price and other charges (Cess, Royalties, Excise,
Sales Tax and others). Around 90% of Coal is sold under the long-term fuel supply agreements (“FSAs”) executed

The delegation of power (DOP) is comprehensive and it percolates down to the colliery/unit level to ensure that the
decisions are taken promptly at various levels in terms of DOP depending upon materiality & importance. Thus
there is a smooth decision making process which ensures timely decisions on all important issues at the different
levels.
In order to ensure that the requisite checks and balances are in place & all internal control systems are in order,
regular and exhaustive Internal Audit is being carried out by experienced firms of Chartered/Cost Accountants
throughout the year in co-ordination with the Internal Audit Department of the company in terms of scope of work
finalized by Coal India Limited (CIL), the holding company. C&AG Officials also conduct transaction audit in
different areas/establishments throughout the year in which justification in support of the expenditure as also the
Internal Control aspects are analysed in- depth. Imbalances occurring, if any, are pointed out in the Inspection
Report of C&AG Office for justification and corrective action by the management.
The Audit Committee of the company/CIL maintain a close watch on the internal control systems and significant
observations of the Internal Auditors are placed before the Audit Committee for review on a quarterly basis. After
consideration thereof, the Audit Committee issues such necessary directives, as deemed fit for compliance.
The Internal Audit Department also undertakes Special Audit/enquiries on specific issues as and when required by
the Management. While conducting such special audit/enquiry, the Internal Control system in operation is examined
in-depth vis-à-vis lapses occurring, if any, and the matter is reported to the competent Authority for necessary
remedial action.
Thus the company has a sound system of Internal Control having regard to the size of the company and the nature
of transactions carried out by it.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION:
The impact on the environment due to coal mining activity is being monitored constantly by the company and
adequate measures for control of Air, Water & Noise Pollution, Land degradation, Deforestation etc are being
undertaken in accordance with the provisions of all statutory norms, Acts, Rules on regular basis by adopting
following Environment Protection Activities.
At present there are 93 mines with Environment Clearance. 87 running mines have been accorded EC for the first
time in 2014-15 with total no. of conditions varying from 75 to 90.
With the growing importance on reclamation of land, proper closure of mines, better air, water and land management,
addressing public concerns on environment, R & R, CSR etc., the area addressed in the EC conditions has also
increased manifolds. Also the developed concept of environmental parameters like reduction in carbon and water
footprint, earning carbon credit, combating Climate Change, etc. have made us inclined to work on this front as
expected by the stakeholders. ECL firmly believes in adhering to the concepts of Sustainable Development and
adoption of non-conventional energy to meet the energy demands. As a part of this we have initiated programs
such as Rainwater Harvesting, installation of Solar Panels etc.
Major Achievements during 2014-15:
1. Environment clearance:
EC obtained for 93 mines with EC capacity 63.92 MTPA. All the 12 clusters consisting of 106 mines have
been cleared by EAC out of which EC of 10 clusters have been issued, and EC of rest 2 clusters is under
process for issue. In addition EC of Simlong OCP has also been obtained. It was possible due to continuous
effort by ECL since 2006 to bring the old mines under the ambit of EIA notification-2006, therefore securing
better environment management with implementation of integrated Environmental Management Plan under
cluster scheme that has been approved by MoEF. It was possible due to excellent coordination with
MoEF and SPCB which also cooperated in our effort for bringing success.

Profit u/s 198 960.81 1896.38 1297.65
Average of CSR Budget for 2014-15: {[(960.81+1896.38+1297.65}*2%} i.e. ` 27.70 Crore. Thus the CSR budget
should be restricted to the 2% of Average Net Profit + `10.20 crore as unspent committed expenditure of 2013-
14 i.e. `37.90 Crore.
Prescribed CSR Expenditure:
Fund provisioning by ECL is based on the CSR Policy of CIL which is 2% of Avg. net profit or ` 2/- per tonne of
coal production of previous year which ever is higher. Production in 2013-14 was 36.046 MT. Hence CSR provision
at the rate of `2/- per tonne of coal production would have been ` 7.21 crore, whereas @ 2% of Average Net Profit
comes to `27.70 crore which is higher. The spill over expenditure of last year is `10.20 crore and hence the totalal
budgeted amount comes to ` 37.90 crore.
Details of amount spent on CSR activities during the financial year:
a. Total Budget for the financial year 2014-15- ` 37.90 crore
b. Amount unspent- `13.05 crore
c. Actual amount incurred on CSR Activities ` 24.85 Crore. Details of CSR Activities are enclosed as
Annexure-A.
Reason for unspent amount lying in CSR budget:
As per the directions given by MHRD, Govt. of India and final report of survey conducted, ECL has been assigned
to take up toilet work in 1942 schools in district of Purulia (West Bengal) and Deoghar & Shaibganj (Jharkhand).
We are to construct 1344 new toilets and make functional 2144 number of dysfunctional toilets in totality 3488 by
30th June, 2015. With the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan the budget was diverted towards construction of toilets. Due
to the introduction of code of conduct in the state of Jharkhand because of the Legislative Election the process got
delayed. The resources are being geared up to minimize the time delay and maximize the scope of CSR expenditure
by the CSR Committee of HQ and Areas.
It is hereby confirmed that the implementation and monitoring of CSR Policy at ECL is in compliance with CIL
CSR Policy in line with Companies Act, 2013 and DPE Guidelines effective from 01.04.2014.

13.6 PRESENT STATUS OF BIFR AND FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING OF ECL
As on 31st March, 1997 accumulated losses of the Company exceeded its net worth by `251.20 Crores.
Hence the company was referred to BIFR in October, 1997 in terms of Section 15(1) of SICA. Due to
financial restructuring done by CIL on 31st May, 1998 by converting unsecured loan of `1179.45 Crores
into equity, the net worth of the company became positive as on that date and company came out of
BIFR. The company continued to incur loss and the net worth of the company again became negative as
on 31st March, 1999. The Company was again referred to BIFR in November, 1999. Company’s case was
registered vide Case No.501/2000.
BIFR sanctioned the Draft Rehabilitation Scheme in November, 2004 for implementation. As per Scheme,
net worth of the Company was slated to become positive in 2008-09 with concession from CIL. Cabinet
Committee on Economic Affairs has also approved the BRPSE recommended Revival Plan of ECL on 6th
October, 2006. As per this Scheme, net worth of the Company was slated to become positive in 2009-10.
As directed by BIFR, in its meeting held on 02.09.2011, DMRP, September, 2011 was submitted but the
official approval has not been communicated till now. As per the revised DMRP of ECL – September,
2011, the net worth of the company was slated to become positive in 2015-16.
Miscellaneous Application No.341/2014 filed by the Company before the BIFR was heard on 22nd
September, 2014. This application was filed by the Company to pass an order directing CIL for waiver of
Unsecured Loan and conversion of Current Account Balance into Equity. The Bench observed that the
already sanctioned Scheme envisaged that the relief was categorically sought from CIL for waiver of
Unsecured Loan and conversion of Current Account Balance to Equity Share Capital and therefore,
permission of the BIFR appeared to be implied and implicit for doing so at the level of CIL and therefore,
no further permission from the BIFR was required. Accordingly, BIFR Bench directed State Bank of India
(Monitoring Agency) to:
1. Clarify to ECL, being the Applicant Company, about the procedure of implementation of the unimplemented
part of the Scheme and its treatment in the Balance Sheet regarding waiver of Unsecured Loan and
conversion of Current Account Balance into Equity Share Capital and
ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15
174
2. Submit a report that the implementation of the sanctioned Scheme is consistent in the manner it was
sanctioned.
The Bench also directed the Company to file auditor’s certificate stating status of the net worth of the
Company along with its current Balance Sheet immediately after implementation of the unimplemented
part of the sanctioned scheme.
State Bank of India vide its letter dated 1st November 2014 to ECL proposed modification of terms of relief
and concession from CIL from “Waiver of unsecured loan of ` 519 Crore and conversion of Current
Account Balance of `1532 Crore as on 31st March 2003 into Equity Share Capital” to “issue of non-
convertible, redeemable, cumulative preference shares for an aggregate value of ` 2051 Crores to CIL by
ECL in full satisfaction of Unsecured Loan and Current Account Balance as on 31st March 2003”.
After detailed deliberation in 310th CIL Board Meeting held on 8th November 2014 and as recommended
by Audit Committee, Board accorded its approval to convert Unsecured Loan of ` 519 Crore and Current
Account Balance of `1532 Crore, aggregating to `2051 Crore, as on 31st March 2003 of ECL with CIL
into fully paid-up 6% non-convertible, cumulative, redeemable, Preference Shares of face value of `1000/
- each to CIL. The Preference Shares are to be redeemed on expiry of 7 years from the date of issue and
allotment. However, CIL would have the option to redeem at any time after the expiry of 5 years from the
date of issue and allotment. Redemption of preference shares shall be at the face value (no redemption
premium). Annual cumulative dividend is 6%.
Accordingly Authorized Capital of ECL was raised from `2500 Crore to `4600 Crore (Refer Note 1) and
in the 275th ECL Board meeting held on 25th December 2014 the Board approved the proposal for offer
and allotment of Preference Shares amounting to `2050.97 Crore to CIL. On 26th December 2014,
20509700 6% non-convertible, cumulative, redeemable, Preference Shares of `1000/- each amounting to
`2050.97 Crores was allotted and issued to CIL, in accordance with the above, and consequently the net
worth of ECL became positive.
The company had filed a Miscellaneous Application (MA) dated 02.02.2015, registered in BC section vide
No.53/ 2015/ BC dated 02.02.2015. In the prayer of the MA, the Company had requested the Hon’ble
Bench to issue the following directions inter-alia:
a) To make an affirmative declaration with regard to the positive net worth of the Company and further declare
it as no longer a Sick Industrial Company as per the provisions of the Act; and
b) To pass such other or further orders as this Hon’ble Board may deem fit and proper on the facts and
circumstances of the present case.
In the hearing held on 11.02.2015 in MA No. 53/ 2015, the representative of the company stated that the
company has filed an MA requesting the Board to de-register the company from the purview of SICA as
the net worth of the company has turned positive at ` 916.87 Crore based on its audited Balance Sheet
as on 31.12.2014 and auditors certificate annexed with the MA.
