What This Document Says

Gazette Reference: Office Circular No. शाफशु/कार्मा.८/स्सवसो/ऑनलाईन सर्विसेस/२०१७, dated October 2017 Type: Administrative Circular — Mandatory Online Services Authority: Office of the Commissioner, State Excise, Maharashtra, Mumbai

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.

Key Details:

13 services have been developed and made available through the MahaOnline Ltd. platform for liquor licence applications
Instruction 1: Online application is now mandatory for all services available on the system; offline/direct applications shall not be accepted — applicants must be directed to apply online
Instruction 2: Upon receipt of online applications, documents must be scrutinised as per rules, and any deficiencies/shortfalls must be communicated to the applicant within the prescribed time
Instruction 3: Grant/issuance of licences arising from online applications shall also be done through the same online system
Instruction 4: A monthly report covering — online applications received, action taken thereon, and licences granted — must be submitted to the Commissioner's office within the first week of every month
Any technical difficulties to be resolved by coordinating with MahaOnline Ltd. or the Computer Branch
Circular distributed to: all District Collectors, all Gazetted Officers, all Divisional Deputy Commissioners (State Excise), all District Superintendents (State Excise), all Desk Officers, and Records Branch (5 copies)
The Co-Director (Computer & Statistics) is directed to upload this circular on the department's website

Effective Date: From date of publication/issue (October 2017)

Authority: Commissioner, State Excise, Maharashtra State, Mumbai (Dr. Joshi)

Note: This is an administrative/operational circular and does not amend any specific rule or section of the Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949 or its subordinate rules. It is a departmental compliance directive mandating the use of the existing MahaOnline platform for licence-related services across all State Excise offices in Maharashtra.

मराठीत सारांश

# महाराष्ट्र State Excise विभाग — ऑनलाईन सर्विस अनिवार्य करणे (अक्टोबर २०१७)

---

## थोडक्यात:
दारू licence साठीचे आवेदन आता **सरकारी website (MahaOnline) वर ऑनलाईन** द्यावे लागेल — कार्यालयात थेट आवेदन दिल्यास स्वीकार केले जाणार नाही।

## काय बदलले?

**आधी (जुली २०१७):**
- State Excise विभाग नें ऑनलाईन आवेदन सुविधा सुरू केली होती, पण सरकारी कार्यालयांना अनिवार्य नव्हते
- काही offices अजूनही **थेट (offline) आवेदन** स्वीकार करत होते

**आता (अक्टोबर २०१७):**
- **100% ऑनलाईन आवेदन अनिवार्य** केले गेले
- कार्यालयांना थेट/offline आवेदन **अस्वीकार** करावे लागेल
- नागरिकांना MahaOnline platform वर ऑनलाईन register करून आवेदन द्यावे लागेल

---

- **13 प्रकारची licence services** MahaOnline वर उपलब्ध आहेत
- सर्व आवेदन ऑनलाईनच द्यावेत
- थेट office मधून आवेदन स्वीकार होणार नाही

**२. कागदपत्र तपासणी:**
- Online आवेदन मिळाल्यानंतर विभाग **निर्धारित मुदतीत** कागदपत्र तपास करेल
- कोणी कागदपत्र कमी असेल तर तत्काळ **आवेदकास सूचित** करेल

**३. License देणे:**
- License approval/issuance **पुन्हा ऑनलाईन system** वर करावे लागेल
- बिल्कुल offline/manual नाही

**४. मासिक अहवाल:**
- प्रत्येक महिन्याच्या **पहिल्या सप्ताहात** Commissioner ला रिपोर्ट सबमिट करावी
- Report मधे: कितने online applications आले, काय कर्तव्य केले, किती licenses दिले — यची माहिती असावी

---

## व्यावहारिक परिणाम:

**नागरिकांसाठी:**
- आता कार्यालयात जाऊन किचकट करावे लागणार नाही
- घरून बसून MahaOnline वर registration करून आवेदन द्या

**State Excise Offices साठी:**
- थेट आवेदन **नाकारावे लागेल**
