Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

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.

Why the other options are wrong — (b) 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 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 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.

Concept: 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.
