It has been, that

"It has been learnt that the match officials have been paid their daily allowances as well as the Indian players"
Is "it has been learning" an independent clause with "it as the subject and has been learnt as the verb? Is "that" a conjunction or a pronoun here?
  

Top answer

That the match officials have been paid their daily allowances as well as the Indian players has been learnt. I think it , in the original sentence, is the dummy subject, and that the match officials have been paid their daily allowances as well as the Indian players is a noun clause acting as the real subject of the sentence. Jigneshbharati Is "that" a conjunction or a pronoun here?

AlpheccaStarsso it must have two clauses
That's right and it does, but the second clause, as a noun clause, is part of the first main clause; we don't have a conjunction, do we?

I still argue the sentence doesn't have a dependent clause and that it is a simple sentence.

Persian Learner, but the second clause, as a noun clause
Yes, it is a clause, a dependent (subordinate ) clause.
