MAHARASHTRA EXCISE GOVERNMENT RESOLUTION ANALYSIS

Issued By: Government of Maharashtra, Home Department (गृह विभाग)

Effective Date: 07.04.2022 (Date of Issue)

  • Compliance Deadline for Existing Licensees: 30.06.2022 (to change establishment names)

    • Summary: This Government Resolution prohibits alcohol retail establishments (mhadyavikri asthapna) from using the names of national figures (राष्ट्रपुरुष), deities (देवदेवता), Saints (संत-महात्मे), and forts/fortresses (गड/किल्ले) of Maharashtra. The decision was issued following representations from Members of the Legislative Assembly and various organizations expressing concern that naming liquor establishments after these revered national and cultural symbols constitutes disrespect (अवहेलना) to these personalities, religious beliefs, social harmony, and cultural heritage. All existing licensees operating under such names must change their establishment names by 30.06.2022.
