Licensees are required to pay monthly fees (equivalent to FY 2018-19 rates) and are granted an extension until 31 December 2019 or until the formal renewal procedure for FY 2019-20 is notified, whichever comes first. This is a continuation policy following the previous year's interim extension granted on 31 August 2019.
• License Type Affected: TD-1 (Toddy shop licenses under Bombay Prohibition Act — Licence-in-Invitation method)

No specific fee amounts are mentioned in this GR. The document states fees are to be collected "at the monthly proportionate rate of FY 2018-19 fees" but does not specify the actual rupee amounts. Reference is made to the previous year's fee structure, which would be contained in the FY 2018-19 Toddy GR (dated 30 August 2018).
Exclusive Category:

• Conditional Termination: The extension automatically ceases on the earlier date of:
• Previous Context: The previous GR (dated 31 August 2019) had already granted extension up to 31 October 2019 with collection of a two-month provisional amount. This GR extends beyond that date and switches to a monthly collection basis instead of lump-sum.
• No Penalties Mentioned: The document does not specify penalties for non-compliance or late payment.
• Administratively Binding: This GR is digitally signed and constitutes executive order binding on all Excise authorities across Maharashtra.
• Distribution List: GR mandatorily transmitted to:
The GR explicitly invokes authority under the Maharashtra Toddy Shops (Distribution through Licence-in-Invitation method) Order 2001 — a subordinate order under the Bombay Prohibition Act 1949, establishing that Toddy licenses in Maharashtra are distributed exclusively by the "Licence-in-Invitation" competitive bidding method rather than by open auction or other means.
