What this form is for
Form TD-7 is the Nokarnama, a written authority by which a toddy licensee appoints a servant (nokar) to act on the licensee's behalf. It is filed by the holder of a toddy shop licence or tapping permit who wants an employee to run the retail shop, tap toddy trees, issue transport passes, or transport toddy in the licensee's absence. The appointment becomes effective only after an Excise officer approves it, and the licensee remains personally responsible for the nokar's offences. The form is prescribed under rule 24(1) of the Maharashtra Toddy Shops (Licensing) and Toddy Trees (Tapping) Rules, 1968.
