Amended Rule/Section: Administrative Circular (follow-up to earlier Circular No. राउशु/कार्या.८/संबसां/ऑनलाईन सर्विसेस/२०१७/४५ dated 18.07.2017) Type of Change: Mandatory Directive / Operational Order
What Changed: The Commissioner of State Excise, Maharashtra observed that despite an earlier circular (dated 18.07.2017) directing that applications for various liquor licences be accepted online through the MahaOnline Ltd. platform (which hosts 13 services), several licence offices were not processing applications through this system. This circular now makes online application submission compulsory for all services available on the platform, and explicitly prohibits acceptance of physical/direct (offline) applications for those services going forward.
