17: 172:. The shallowest part of the sub-basin is in the south, where Neogene sediments varies in thickness from 128 m to 1,160 m. The tectonically down-warped frontal belt of the Himalayas contains Neogene sediments. The southern edge of the submerged mountains along the Garo-Rajmahal is a fault zone, known as the east–west oriented 250:
from northwest to southeast. The sub-basin is divided into 5 parts according to tectonic domains: Sylhet trough, Tangail-Tripura high (also known as Madhupur high), Faridpur trough, Barisal-Chandpur high and Hatia trough. The Hatia trough is the deepest trough in the Bengal Basin with the thickest clastic sediment deposits.

The southeastern sub-basin is bounded on the west by the Eocene shelf-break and the easternmost edge of the CTFB. This sub-basin shows a huge sedimentary thickness of 10 km to 18 km. The southeastern sub-basin is filled with massive clastic sediments and the sediment thickness increases

The presence of larite and laritic soil is seen in this part. The subsurface consists of layers of sandstone, red shale, grit and gravel. The Dhananjaypur Formation at the base of the Rajmahal trap is identified as the early stage of subsidence on the eastern side of the west margin fault. This

The Bengal Basin has a thin, gently sloping alluvial cover in the western and northern parts, which thickens basin-ward. Considerable variation in stratigraphy, sedimentary tectonics and basin evolution is observed in different parts of the basin. The entire basin is divided into three smaller

to Recent sediments. The western sub-basin portion belonging to West Bengal is characterized by gentle eastward slopes and numerous step faults with small displacements. The sediment thickness increases steadily from about 500 m near the western end to more than 6,500 m near

The northern sub-basin mainly consists of the northern part of the Bengal basin. It lies between the 'saddle' of the Garo-Rajmahal gap (submerged ridge) in the south and the Himalayan Front, which is part of the Indian states of

It is bounded by faults on all its sides except the southern side. The basin is bounded by the West Margin Fault and the Malda–Kishanganj Fault in the west, the Surma Margin Fault in the east and the Yamuna Fault and the
