# महाराष्ट्र उत्पादन शुल्क विभाग — पुनर्रचना आदेश (सोप्या मराठीत)

---

## थोडक्यात:
**महाराष्ट्र सरकारने 18 जून 2024 ला excise विभागाचे नवीन संघटन केले आहे. अधिकारियांच्या कार्यक्षेत्रे (कोणता अधिकारी कोणते भूभाग हाताळतो) हे पुन्हा तय केले गेले आहे.**

---

## काय बदलले? (पहिले vs आता)

| काय | पहिले | आता | बदल |
|-----|-------|------|------|
| **Regional Units** (आंचलिक कार्यालये) | 140 | 164 | +24 नवीन |
| **Enforcement Teams** (भरारी पथके) | 47 | 56 | +9 नवीन |
| **Border Check Posts** (सीमा तपासणी नाके) | 12 | 25 | +13 नवीन |
| **Deputy Superintendents** | कमी | 48 | अधिक स्पष्ट allocation |

- प्रत्येक unit ला एक **Inspector** आणि तीन **Deputy Inspectors** असतात
- प्रत्येक Deputy Inspector चे 3 sub-divisions आहेत

**काय बदलले?**
- 140 → **164** units (24 नवीन जोडले)
- नव्या districts लाही units मिळाले
- सरांची जबाबदारी स्पष्ट झाली

**अर्थ काय?**

- प्रत्येक district ला स्वतंत्र team असेल

---

## 3️⃣ BORDER CHECK POSTS (सीमा तपासणी नाके)

**काय आहे?**

- उदा: महाराष्ट्र-गुजरात सीमा, महाराष्ट्र-कर्नाटक सीमा

**काय बदलले?**
- 12 → **25 posts** (+13 नवीन)

**दोन प्रकार:**
1. **Sensitive** (संवेदनशील) — कमी तस्करी
2. **Highly Sensitive** (अत्यंत संवेदनशील) — जास्त तस्करी

---

## 6️⃣ Police Coordination (पोलिस सहकार्य)

**कोणत्या नाकेसाठी?**
- Border Check Posts वर पोलिस station आहे तर...

- Police station ची सीमा = Border Check Post ची कार्यक्षेत्र
- अवैध दारूच्या विरुद्ध तात्काळ कारवाई (तातडीने उचकी)

---

## याचे पूर्ण मजकूर कोठे?

सर्व तपशील **4 Appendices** मध्ये:
- **Appendix I** = 164 Regional Units कोणत्या जिल्ह्यात
- **Appendix II** = 56 Enforcement Teams कोणत्या भागात
- **Appendix III** = 25 Border Check Posts कुठे
- **Appendix IV** = 48 Deputy Superintendents कोणत्या district मध्ये

---
