What is needed for a Panna mining lease in Madhya Pradesh?

Panna’s mining lease process is designed to be accessible for locals. Applicants only need a form, three photographs, Aadhaar copy and a ₹200 challan from SBI Panna. After approval, the Diamond Office allots a small mining plot where digging can begin. Every diamond found must be deposited for official auction, often earning miners higher-than-expected returns based on market demand.
