**विस्तारीत समजावून:**
• **Licence कितका काळ चलतो?** — जर तुम्हाला Foreign Liquor (विदेशी दारू) विक्रीसाठी licence मिलतो, तर तो जास्तीत जास्त १ साल चालू शकतो.
• **अंतिम तारीख:** तुमचा licence कधीही सुरू व्हा न व्हा, तो ३१ मार्चला समाप्त होतो. उदा., जर तुमचा licence १ जानेवारीला सुरू होतो, तर तो पुढील साल ३१ मार्चला संपतो. किंवा जर २ ऑक्टोबरला सुरू होतो, तर तर पुढील साल ३१ मार्चला संपतो.
• **क्यामुळे?** — महाराष्ट्र शासन हर साल ३१ मार्चला सर्व licence रीन्यू करायचे ठरविले आहे. यामुळे प्रशासनासाठी नियंत्रण सोपे होतो.
• **पुन्हा licence घ्यायचे असेल?** — licence संपल्यानंतर तुमुला नवीन अर्ज भरायचा लागतो आणि नवीन fee भरायचे लागतात. तुम्ही आणखी एक साल licence मिळवू शकता.
• **महत्वाचे:** licence संपण्याच्या आधीच नवीन अर्ज दाखल करणे चांगले — नाहीतर तुमचा व्यवसाय बंद झाईल.
