WHO IS AFFECTED

Maharashtra State Excise Department (primary)
State Excise Commissioner, Maharashtra (Member-Secretary — primary responsibility for policy submission)
Finance Department (revenue implications)
GST/State Tax Authority (coordinated tax policy)
All State Excise License Holders (potential impact on future licensing policies and excise duty structures)
Liquor Manufacturers, Wholesale Dealers, Retail Licensees (CL-I, CL-II, CL-III, FL-I, FL-II, FL-III, FL-IV and all other categories — subject to recommendations)

IMPORTANT NOTES / SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Committee has autonomy to examine liquor manufacturing policies, licensing frameworks, and excise duty regimes of other Indian states — not limited to Maharashtra precedent.
Dual-track approach:
- Proactive task (Task A): Study best practices across India
- Reactive task (Task B): Evaluate specific policy proposals from State Excise Commissioner
- No extraordinary powers conferred — Committee is purely advisory; recommendations must be separately approved by Government.
- Mandatory 2-month deadline — suggests urgency and Government's intention to implement revenue-enhancing reforms before end of fiscal year (if issued in January).
- High-level composition — inclusion of Finance and GST Commissioner indicates this is a revenue-focused policy review, not routine administrative order.
- Scope is limited to State Excise Duty & Alcohol Policy — does not extend to other excise categories (petroleum, tobacco, etc.), though GST Commissioner's inclusion suggests alignment with indirect taxation.
- No specific license types mentioned — but all existing and future license categories (FL-I through FL-IV, CL-I through CL-III, Toddy, Neera, manufacturing permits) may be subject to policy changes arising from Committee recommendations.
- Digital signature verification required — Order must be verified using reference code 202501091104191729 on official portal.

# महाराष्ट्र दारूबंदी कायदा — सरकारी ठरावाचा अर्थ

## थोडक्यात:
राज्य सरकारने उत्पादन शुल्काच्या (excise duty) माध्यमातून अधिक महसूल वाढवण्याच्या उपायांचा विचार करण्यासाठी एक अभ्यासगट (committee) बनवला आहे.

---

## **हा आदेश काय म्हणतो?**

राज्य सरकारने **9 जानेवारी 2025** ला एक **अभ्यासगट** तयार केला आहे.

या अभ्यासगटाचा काम काय आहे?

- **इतर राज्यांचे दारू धोरण पहाणे** (कोणत्या राज्यांनी कसे महसूल वाढवला, ते शिकणे)
- **licence प्रणाली सुधारणे** (नवी योजना)
- **excise duty वाढवण्याचे उपाय** (अधिक कर आकारणे)
- **State Excise Commissioner ने सुचवलेल्या योजनांचा विचार करणे**

---

## **अभ्यासगटात कोण आहेत? (Committee Members)**

| क्र. | नाव | काम |
|----|----|-----|
| 1 | Additional Chief Secretary (गृह विभाग) | **अध्यक्ष** (Chairman) |
| 2 | Additional Chief Secretary (वित्त विभाग) | सदस्य |
| 3 | Additional Chief Secretary (उत्पादन शुल्क) | सदस्य |
| 4 | Commissioner (GST) | सदस्य |
| 5 | Commissioner (State Excise) | सदस्य-सचिव (Member-Secretary) |

---

## **काय करायचे? कधीपर्यंत?**

✅ **2 महिन्यांत** (जानेवारीपासून मार्चपर्यंत) अभ्यासगटाने:
- इतर राज्यांमधून चांगल्या विचार घेणे
- नवी योजना शासनाला सुचवणे
- दारू आणि spirits वर अधिक कर आकारण्याचे मार्ग शोधणे

---

## **याचा प्रभाव कोणावर?**

**दारू license धारकांवर:**
- दारू विक्रेता (कंट्री लिकर, फॉरेन लिकर)
- शराब कारखाने (distillery, brewery)
- wholesale dealers
- retail दुकानदार

**संभवत:**
- नवी **licence fee** वाढू शकते
- **excise duty** (कर) वाढू शकते
- नवी **licence प्रणाली** येऊ शकते

---

## **महत्वाचे मुद्दे:**

🔵 हा सरकारचा **आंतरिक आदेश** आहे — सरावरून अजून काही बदल झाले नाहीत.

🔵 अभ्यासगटाने **शिफारशी** दिल्यावर तेच approved होऊन लागू होतील.

🔵 ही **deadline आहे** — 2 महिन्यांत निर्णय आला पाहिजे.

🔵 यात **फॉरेन लिकर, कंट्री लिकर, स्पिरीट, ताडी सब काही** समाविष्ट असू शकते.

---

## **एकूण समज:**

सरकारला अधिक पैसे लागतात. म्हणून दारू क्षेत्रातून अधिक महसूल घेण्याचा विचार चाल्लू झाला आहे. अभ्यासगट **2 महिन्यांत** सुचना देईल, त्यानंतर नवी योजना लागू होऊ शकते.
