MPPSC 2026 Prelims Paper-I · Question 39 of 100

Correct — A, crop movement outside Madhya Pradesh. e-Anugya (portal: eanugya.mp.gov.in) is the online system of the Madhya Pradesh State Agricultural Marketing Board — the Mandi Board. When a notified agricultural produce is sold in a mandi and the mandi fee is paid, the licensed trader files the declaration online and the system generates the anugya patra — the electronic permit that authorises moving that produce out of the mandi and transporting it within or outside the state. It replaced the slow manual permit counter, works 24×7, and allows a permit or vehicle to be verified online, which is what closes the door on fake permits and fee evasion.

• (b)Vehicle movement outside Madhya Pradesh. — Inter-state movement of vehicles is a Transport Department subject — permits under the Motor Vehicles Act, national permits and e-challan/VAHAN systems. e-Anugya is a Mandi Board system and does not licence vehicles; it licenses the consignment of produce the vehicle is carrying.
• (c)Mineral movement outside Madhya Pradesh. — Mineral despatch in MP is controlled by the Mineral Resources Department, which issues electronic transit passes through its own e-Khanij portal (ekhanij.mp.gov.in) — a completely separate department and system from the Mandi Board's e-Anugya.
• (d)Liquor movement outside Madhya Pradesh. — Liquor transport permits are an Excise Department function under the state excise law. Nothing about liquor falls within the agricultural-marketing mandate of the Mandi Board that runs e-Anugya.

Madhya Pradesh regulates the first sale of agricultural produce through krishi upaj mandis under the state's agricultural produce market law, administered by the MP State Agricultural Marketing (Mandi) Board. A mandi fee is charged on the sale of notified produce, and the anugya patra is the document proving the fee has been paid and permitting the produce to be taken away and transported. e-Anugya digitised precisely this permit; e-Mandi is its extended form, which also moves gate-entry slips, auction, weighment and payment records online.

The clue is inside the name. 'Anugya' (अनुज्ञा) means permission/licence, and the Mandi Board's whole world is agricultural produce — so the permit is for produce, not for a vehicle, mineral or liquor. Each wrong option corresponds to a real MP permit regime run by a different department, which is the standard MPPSC trick: pair a state portal with the wrong department. Learn state e-governance portals as portal ↔ department ↔ service triplets.

• e-Anugya is run by the Madhya Pradesh State Agricultural Marketing Board (Mandi Board); the portal is eanugya.mp.gov.in.
• Anugya patra = the permit issued once mandi fee is paid on notified agricultural produce; it authorises transporting the produce within and outside MP.
• Licensed traders generate the e-permit themselves online (24×7) through a declaration form, replacing manual issue at the mandi office.
• Permits and carrying vehicles can be verified online, cutting duplicate/fake permits and fee leakage.
• e-Mandi is the extended form of the e-Anugya system, digitising gate entry, auction, weighment and payment slips as well.
• Mineral transit passes in MP go through a different portal — e-Khanij, of the Mineral Resources Department.

• Matching a state portal to the wrong department — e-Anugya is Mandi Board (crops), e-Khanij is Mineral Resources (minerals).
• Assuming any permit for 'movement outside the state' must be a transport-department document.
• Confusing e-Anugya (permit for produce) with e-Uparjan (procurement registration of farmers).

MPPSC asks named MP portals and schemes directly — 'X portal/project is for…'. Prepare every MP e-governance name as portal ↔ department ↔ exact service; a one-line function is enough to answer, and it also protects you against the department-swap trap.
