IMPORTANT NOTES / ADMINISTRATIVE CONTEXT

Background & Cross-References:

• Administrative sanction previously accorded vide Home Department GR No. MIS-2018/PR.CR.14/RAUSHU-1, Dated 16 March 2018
• Present GR dated 15 January 2019 provides financial/budgetary approval to implement that decision

  • Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949 (BPA)
  • Bombay Foreign Liquor Rules, 1953 (BFLR)
  • Maharashtra Country Liquor Rules, 1973 (MCLR)
  • Any subordinate excise licensing or fee regulations

  • Scope: Infrastructure/Capital works authorization only — affects internal administration of State Excise Department

  • Impact on Licensees: No direct impact on FL-I, FL-II, FL-III, FL-IV, CL-I, CL-II, CL-III, Toddy, Neera, or other license categories

  • Indirect Impact: Improved office infrastructure may indirectly enhance processing efficiency for excise license applications and compliance monitoring

    Regulatory Compliance:

    • Follows due procedural authorization chains (Home Department → Finance Department oversight)
