Amended Rule/Section: Government Resolution (G.R.) — Administrative; Temporary positions in State Excise Department
Type of Change: Extension / Administrative Notification (not a BPA rule amendment)
What Changed:
This is an administrative Government Resolution (not a Maharashtra Prohibition Act rule amendment) extending temporary supervisory positions in the State Excise Department. The resolution extends 1,169 temporary positions approved under earlier G.R. dated 01.01.2003 by an additional term until 28.02.2013. Additionally, 57 temporary positions whose original activities were closed have been reallocated to new activities and are extended to the same date (28.02.2013). The notification also marks certain positions as "निरंक" (lapsed/extinguished) where activities ceased and positions were not reallocated. The extension is subject to Finance Department guidelines (dated 26.02.2002) that positions vacant for more than 6 months automatically lapse and are excluded from this extension.
