Quick Summary
A mining leaseholder generally cannot sub-lease without government approval; such arrangements may be invalid. Legally, royalty liability remains with the registered leaseholder (Mr. ABC), even if another party operates the quarry.

Legally, Mr. ABC remains solely responsible for paying royalties to the government because he is the registered leaseholder. While he can have a private agreement for Mr. XYZ to cover the costs, the government only recognizes Mr. ABC. Furthermore, "renting out" a lease is generally prohibited without formal government approval and could risk the lease being canceled.

 

A mining lease holder CANNOT sub-lease or transfer mining rights without prior permission of State Government. If NO approval → arrangement may be illegal.

Royalty is payable to Government by the person holding the mining lease in Government records.
